DESCRIPTION
The event is a part of the “Bridging the Gap between Investors & Startups” series co-organized and performed by the Early Investing Launchpad (ESIL) and the local leader CyRIC Cyprus Research & Innovation Center Ltd.
The scope of the event is to acknowledge startups that we are building a new community of investors that we need to get them in touch with. Expert speakers and trainers will guide startups on working on their value proposition and pitching and generally anything that they need to know and get prepared in order to pitch in front of an investor panel.
Startups will get familiarized with the investor pitching process and will get trained to develop proper pitch decks and get knowledge on how to deal and negotiate with investors.
We are really happy to have on-board as speakers and trainers :
(1) ESIL representative Mr. René Reijtenbagh, Founder Business Angels Connect, Vice President at Business Angels Europe (René Reijtenbagh Linkedin) and
(2) Mr. Peter Lazou (https://peterlazou.com/) a serial entrepreneur and experienced startup trainer
Mr. René Reijtenbagh will deliver a training session on “Prepare and find investors/financing and the process of closing the deal. The do’s and dont’s from a practical point of view”. Mr. Reijtenbagh will share his accumulated knowledge and experience from his involvement in the startup investing sector, guiding the participants towards getting prepared for an early stage investment.
