Another day and yet another opportunity to learn and share, and .... tadam tadam ... to select a few more potential #investments with potential co-investment partners. Words do matter. It's a nice and catchy term to say we have #Pitch #Battles today. Energy, ambition, supporters... you can feel it in the air. But, dear #founders, this is not the #battlefield and not #bloodshed - this is your stage, your time, and your opportunity to SHINE, to show the BEST of who YOU ARE, whom you want to BE, and what SOLUTIONS you are bringing to the world with your innovations, product or service. This is not about #winning or failing. This is about making yourself heard by the world and making sure you get your message across in the best possible way. This is about the #opportunity to get potential investors' interest and be invited to #negotiate potential deal terms. It's an opportunity to make a #leapfrog in your #growth ambitions - use this opportunity wisely, get on stage, and shine. I will have the pleasure to join the #Jury at #Finals in the afternoon and we hope with fellow co-investors to find new great teams and founders for our #portfolio. Come to see this live in-person - the event is free, including the afterparty - you only need to register for a free ticket. And if your schedule is busy - watch the talks on the main stage and teams pitching to investors at cinema Pasaka (what a beautiful name for the location to hunt future #unicorns...) - find the links below.

What happens when you're up against the clock and the pressure’s on? Representing Veehive at GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World Expand North Star was an exhilarating four-day experience! We had the incredible opportunity to pitch our innovative solutions in two major competitions: Red Bull Basement and DU Technovators Pitch. The thrill of showcasing our hard work was unmatched, and I’m proud to say we took home first prize in both competitions! 🏆 Fresh out of university, I joined Veehive with big dreams, and this was my first chance to represent the company on such a significant stage—at the Red Bull Basement Pitch. The atmosphere was electric, and the supportive vibes pushed me to give my all—and it truly paid off! This experience marked a huge turning point for me. It wasn’t just about the pitch or the tech; it was about how Veehive tackles real problems for businesses, helping them engage their audiences in fresh, disruptive ways, boosting user engagement and retention. Along the way, we met some incredible people and forged valuable connections that we will truly cherish. I’m incredibly grateful for the teamwork and dedication that brought us to this moment. Looking ahead, it’s only upwards for Veehive. 🚀 We’ve got big things on the horizon, and I’m beyond excited for what’s to come! #GITEXYouthX #ExpandNorthStar #RedBullBasement #DUTechnovators #Pitching #StartupJourney #Veehive #Grateful

Last year, I could not attend Collision Conf. This year, Tehmina A Chaudhry made sure I do. (You know why?) Since the launch of Canada Startup Association, Tehmina and I have interacted with zillions of startup ecosystem players in Canada and in other countries. We learned that the biggest challenge for startup founders is "Inability to meet enough right people". Events like Collision and platforms like Canada Startup Association provide that opportunity. I will be at Booth E108 at Collision on 19 June. Starting around noon, would love to meet anyone who is around. CSA will be signing MoU with Genetec Solutions. Genetech is a leading USA-based technology company. Our strategic partnership with them will be transformational in many ways (I wont tell you everything here - So visit booth E180 to learn more. Thanks to CSA President Tehmina Chaudhry for driving me crazy ;) - In a nicer way Would love to meet amazing Shamim Rajani, A tech lady and Co-Founder of Genetech. Lets meet to discuss possibilities for collaboration. Comment below if you are there tomorrow. #Collision #Collisionconference #Collision2024

London Tech Week was amazing! Panels full of interesting insights on CyberSecurity and Ai, interactive technologies such as Miirage | Holographic Displays as well as seeing impactful pitches from the Rising Stars competitions. Novai's pitch showed me how passion and authenticity, paired with a calm yet impactful way of presenting with conviction can sometimes be more impactful than a loud voice in a room. Their founder had a very serene presence that matched the confidence when asked specifics in numbers and value proposition. It was great meeting new people and reconnecting with others. On the first day, I had interesting conversations regarding partnerships and innovation with Dima Mikhailov, Dmitriy Goncharov, Egor Savvin and Megan Daly-Tyrrell. I also had some food for thought on my business, MeiXter LTD from Carlos Eduardo Espinal MBE regarding Ai capabilities after his panel on 'Panel: Has AI Transformed the Efficiency for Startups?' Bumping into a familiar face and then talking venture capital with Stéphane Eboko and Peter Hopton, opened my eyes on possibilities to collaborate with other Founders. My reconnection with Tania Hoyos kindly led me to connects and joining Latinos in Tech-London and Latin representative in LTW where I met an inspiring group of people: Vladimir Guzman, Rogelio Sanchez, Edgar Lopez-Rojas, PhD, MBA, MSC, SW Eng, Rebeca Conejo. I also had the pleasure to learn more about Ladislao Cazes and the expertise South American companies are providing to great US and UK ventures, especially in the EdTech space, as well as UK support to start-ups from Ryan Short Lastly, I spoke to quite a few investors looking at investing on impact driven companies and the creation of a chain reaction for collaboration between founders. I am glad they see the value Founders can give to other Founders and how much impact those interactions can have. It was a great week with fruitful conversations and new connections that showed me how much I enjoy connecting others for collaboration. I would like to carry on being able to learn, collaborate with and assist others in the Tech space, so please feel free to reach out if you find synergies with my profile. #LTW #londontechweek #connections #collaborations #technology #entrepreneurship
