In the beginning of September we celebrated Startup day & Latvian Startup Awards. Presentations, fire-side chats and multiple panels filled the day's programme which ended with the first ever Latvian Startup Award ceremony. We would particularly like to highlight the discussion in which one of the participants was LVCA Board Member Matiss Neimanis - 'Navigating the chill: is VC heading into a winter season?'. This panel not only tackled the topic of male/female ratio in the VC community, but also gave answers to such questions as - how to pitch an idea and is it scary?; How to manage relations in the team and with the investors?; Finally - what to do with rejection e-mails from investors? (Answers varied greatly to the last one!)

🔥 Startup Digest Portugal | It’s a tough journey | Week #14 🔥 Olá and Welcome back to your Startup Digest Portugal The new government will present its program this week. Now that the names of the ministers and state secretaries of the new executive are known, the spotlight shifts to discerning the key governance priorities that will shape the trajectory of the administration. The ecosystem to which this Techstars Startup Digest is addressed is one of the most vibrant sectors in #Portugal for the last decade, with huge international reach, and an excellent track record that has been dimensioning Portugal as a relevant player and positioning my country as the place #startupfounders should be. But we cannot keep this excellent record in a very competitive space; based on good food, good weather, and friendly smiles. We, as a nation, must address and be competitive in a series of key areas. Express high hopes that the incoming government recognizes the pivotal role of #entrepreneurship in bolstering the nation's economy. This implies not only establishing a favorable environment for #startups and #scaleups through robust competition policies but also refraining from erecting any unnecessary barriers that could impede their growth and innovation. It’s a tough journey as it is. 🚨 #SIMConference (Startups & Investment Matching) powered by Startup Portugal will take place in #Porto from May 2-4, and is set to match Entrepreneurs, Startups, and Investors!
