Dear Area 31 Entrepreneurs and Friends,
The application deadline for The South Summit is coming up! Don't miss the chance to pitch in front of international investors and network with corporations, other entrepreneurs and business angels.
Area 31 is hosting several events the coming week. On Tuesday, entrepreneurs in the present intake of IE Business School's Incubator will have their monthly gathering. Alejandro Touriño, director of IE's Startup Lawyers program, will teach a master class on Wednesday about mistakes to avoid when launching a startup. And, last but not least, our very own weekly pitch slam, the Venture Network, will be held on Thursday.
