3️⃣ 10:15 Networking: after a group photo, attendees split into smaller groups to talk further.
HOW TO PREPARE:
Bring a notebook to take notes (plant of wisdom gets shared)
Think about one or two challenges you are facing as an entrepreneur or invetsor, to bring up with the group
Think about your personal introduction. What key aspects do you want to highlight, and what key value can you offer to the others attending?
