IE Venture Network
EVERY THURSDAY SINCE 2011. Pioneering Entrepreneurship.
Venture Network Area 31, January 31st @7pm
Venture Network, an informal weekly pitch slam, is an invaluable resource for early stage entrepreneurs. Venture Network is a forum in which you can engage with the entrepreneurial community, promote your startup, and have the opportunity to pitch before a panel of investors & entrepreneurs. Venture Network is unique in that it is a very informal gathering where startups can meet investors in a casual setting over beers and snacks and focus on what’s important: building relationships. Venture Network is a great way to perfect your pitch, get feedback on your product, and meet the local startup community.
Venture Network's jury this week includes:
Iván Briones, CEO Zoolife / Z00 ADVISORY GROUP
Yolanda Díaz, WA4STEAM
The two startups that will present their project in 7 minutes are:

Profesor CBD, Borja Iribarne
Profesor CBD is a digital native vertical brand which was born from a personal necessity. Some month ago I started to look for a natural remedy that could help my mothers pains, she has rheumatoid arthritis. When I founded Cannabidiol as a natural solution I quickly realized that it was a global solution for a particular problem.
In Spain there are more than 70% of the population with sleep problems, 40% with anxiety problems and 15 with joint problems, and the CBD is able to combat all these problems in the least intrusive way.
The next steps were to develop the business model, find the best suppliers and create a digital environment of trust for the consumer. From there came the sales, the recurrence and now we face the jump to Europe with our own brand.
