What makes this night different? • Curated Room: We intentionally keep our events intimate (up to 40 people) so it’s easier to meet the right people, not just collect random contacts. • Live Pitch Session: A focused 1-hour session where selected founders present AI/IT projects, followed by audience Q&A. • Investor Alignment: We work with investors across multiple cities and help increase visibility of relevant founders within our network. • Global Context: You are stepping into an international, ambitious tech environment, not a local casual meetup. Who is it for? • Founders & Co-founders seeking visibility, feedback, and connections. • Investors & Scouts looking for relevant early-stage opportunities. • Tech Professionals - builders, operators, and future founders. • Ambitious Individuals - serious about entering the startup and AI/Tech ecosystem. For Speakers & Investors Participants with a Speaker Ticket (AI/IT focus required) are guaranteed a pitch opportunity during the event. Relevant speaker profiles and presentation materials may be shared with selected investor contacts in our network to support post-event visibility. Matching & Relevance: To ensure the highest quality of connections, both founders and investors will be invited to complete a short matching form after registration. This helps us align startup projects with specific investor interests.
