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:

Rafael Alcalde, Qrowd Makers

Nicolás Campo, Socios Inversores

The two startups that will present their project in 7 minutes are:

TeknTrash

TeknTrash effectively *recycles data*: it identifies products at recycling centers and matches their origin to the stores where they were sold. This allows product manufacturers to have a complete history of the use of their products, which allows them to build more sustainable packaging, know where their or their competitors products are being consumed, have less stock costs, etc

Latterpay

Customers already love good products, now they want a better way to pay. With latterpay customers can shop now, enjoy now, and pay later, in 3 monthly-instalments, interest free, and without paperwork. Because nobody wants to take a loan to afford their lifestyle, but we all want flexibility and a better payment experience, latterpay is here.
