Moreover, the VentureConnect Foundation opens the session for this event’s pitches submissions.
The entrepreneurs willing to present their business in front of some of the most important investment funds, accelerators, incubators in Romania and Europe can submit the projects until 13th May 2015 on the event’s website: www.ventureconnect.ro. Before the event, VentureConnect Foundation shall organize two mentoring sessions to support the finalist entrepreneurs with respect to efficiency and structure of the pitch, public speaking skills and discourse elaboration.
The VentureConnect event shall include two pitching sessions: the first part shall be dedicated to students and early-stage companies in search for seed investment, and the second part shall be dedicated to more mature companies in search for a more substantial capital input.
“After more than four years since we launched the project, we take pride in a community of over 400 companies which visited VentureConnect and came in touch with investors. We are glad to be able to offer the Romanian entrepreneurs access to an important network of contacts in Romania, Europe and the American continent, and that VentureConnect is the place where investments happen”, states Ana Maria Andronic, co-founder of VentureConnect.
