Two things that that I find are totally different from Silicon Valley & Switzerland after having been exposed to both: 1# The Pitch: It is totally accepted in Silicon Valley to pitch at a ☕coffee shop . It is known to everyone at which coffee shop you can meet investors and you can actually sit at a table and listen to someone pitching their idea 2# Pitch Event: While in Switzerland the outside (location, etc.) matters, in Silicon Valley the pitches are more important. Are there other differences that I did not cover? #pitchevent #startup #startupswitzerland #siliconvalley

📍 For a while now, the 30th of September has been marked with a big red circle in my agenda. Is it because it's the birthday of Max Verstappen? Not really (no offence, Max). It's time for the third edition for the highly praised LEVEL UP 2024 - the event that accelerates startups! Hosted at the iconic Evoluon - that always gives me some back-to-the-future vibes-, it's the ultimate tech startup event for founders, investors, and innovators. This year, we're thrilled to be a proud partner of this incredible event. Last year was a sold-out success, packed with inspiring keynotes, interactive workshops, and invaluable networking opportunities. This year, we’re raising the bar even higher. We're co-hosting the Investor Café at LEVEL UP because it's the place where the magic happens. Carefully selected startups and scaleups will take the stage throughout the day, delivering sharp pitches to a panel of top-tier investors like Innovation Industries, DeepTechXL, ECFG, BOM (Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij) and imec.xpand. Happy to be part of this panel on behave of Rabobank and I promise to bring a notebook, maybe even a checkbook.
