One of the crucial moments for high-growth companies is the transition from startup to scale-up, when the so-called product/market fit is achieved.
This often involves raising external financing: a difficult and crucial process that is new to most entrepreneurs.
Through this matchmaking session, we help (potential) scale-ups overcome the difficult hurdle for seed funding, series A capital round or when considering an innovation grant. Here we help the entrepreneur get his/her pitch and financial plan in focus towards investors. Afterwards, he/she gets the optional opportunity to pitch in a FINMIX panel session. This panel is composed of different types of fund providers, including PMV Equity, venture capitalist, angel investor, bank, crowdfunding platform,...
The Finance Matchmaking track targets a group of up to ten companies to ensure the necessary interactivity. Multiple individuals per company can participate.
