Building startups successfully requires getting a lot of elements right! **''Startup/Investor Open Coffee''** event series is the space and opportunity to address the most important elements, structures, and key pointers to building a startup successfully.

Come, join our buzzing community of entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and advisors! Each of our sessions follows a free structure, and every time we tailor the conversations based on the needs of the attendees.

Usually, every attendee introduces themselves, shares the challenges they face, speaks about their startup's needs, and everyone exchanges experiences, contacts, and learnings, creating new solutions.
This is a community of like-minded entrepreneurs, who believe in helping each other succeed, and use this network as a mutual support and growth system.

Warning: Meaningful conversations about startup life is a common theme discussed here ;)

We usually also have investors and mentors in the events. So you may have a chance to connect with your future partners.

Remember, an engaging delivery is just as important as having an amazing pitch deck!
Dana will help you:

 Build genuine connections with investors.
 Be remembered for all the right reasons.
