Global Corporate Venturing’s Post

Next week, the number of #startup investors in Prague will multiply as the #engagedinvestments conference finally kicks off. We're excited to welcome all investors who are interested in investing in #CEE founders. The original idea behind the conference a few years ago was to bring together experienced investors and those who are just looking for their way into the ecosystem. And the idea is still here. The CEE early-stage ecosystem is growing and provides many opportunities, one just needs to know how to utilize them. We have many experienced investors who will be sharing their invaluable experiences with newcomers. One of the significant challenges of the CEE region, and Europe as a whole, is fragmentation. There are many countries, several hubs, and several local investors. The conference aims to bring investors together and work on building a community of investors who can invest across the region. During the event, I will discuss our approach with exceptional panelists such as Adam Kocik, Marcin Hejka, Mary McKenna, MBE and Alex Felman. And another panel will discuss the pros and cons of funds and syndicates. They both have their place in the early-stage ecosystem. In addition to panels, there will be workshops focused on specific areas such as #spacetech, #impacttech, and #deeptech. The deep-tech workshop will have a particular emphasis on dual-use and defence, which is a hot topic for the future of Europe. Finally, there will be several side events, making it an exciting couple of days. We look forward to welcoming all investors interested in investing in CEE founders. #ENGAGEDINVESTMENTS CONFERENCE 24 - 25 October, 2023 Czechia, Prague 🔗 http://engaged.investments

Join me for a special Tech Nordic Advocates event in Helsinki titled “Making it in the U.S.: What does it Take?” on November 29th. #usexpansion #venturecapital #startups #scaleups

Sweden, and the Nordics, are too small to have a fragmented ecosystem of business angels and investors. Most of our international success companies seek capital from foreign owners, and with that, the returns disappear from Sweden - solely because there's a lack of coordination. Nordic Angels was created for that very reason - to identify, bring together, and collaborate within the country and the Nordics. By breaking down local and social barriers and sharing knowledge about capital and competence, we enhance the sense of community - and thereby increase the possibilities for Sweden and the Nordics to continue delivering world-leading innovations and companies. Everything starts on October 25th. Everything starts with Angel Prize Sweden 2023. #angelprize2023 #nordicangels
