Informal Pitchfest + Entrepreneur Mixer (Holiday Edition)

This event is a collaboration between Female Entrepreneurs in Technology and NELAUX

We offer a supportive and friendly community environment with only the best of intentions - to help you make progress, share tips, feedback and receive help for your business idea.
