VENTURE NETWORK WEEKLIES
Supporting Spain´s next generation of startups
INVESTORS - VENTURE NETWORK NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Welcome back to the Venture Network!!
After a super exciting summer where we signed Banco Sabadell as a partner and relaunched our website, we are back on the 2nd of October with our weekly startup pitch slam.
The investor pitch is a fundamental tool for any startup looking for financing, however the pitch is not an easy task and there are very few resources to help entrepreneurs with their pitch. From this need was born the Venture Network, a place where entrepreneurs can receive expert feedback from a panel of investors in order to understand when they are investor ready and identify the key messages and ultimately find an investment.
Over the last 3 years over 350 startups have pitched at the Venture Network some like Blink Booking, Cabify, Club Kviar have gone on to raise serious money and do great things others never quite got off the ground, but everyone has learned, improved, and met interesting people.
The Venture Network is a pay it forward model to connect talent, if we don´t support the next generation of entrepreneurs we will have no startups to invest in - and now we are asking for your help! We are asking you to commit 2 hours per month to participate on the Venture Network Investor Panel to advise, give feedback, and help improve the investor pitch of the startups at the Venture Network, and who knows, you might just meet some awesome teams to invest in. If you are interested in participating in the Venture Network jury please RSVP to carmen.corrais@ie.edu
Your sincerely,
