Two incredible weeks of #GoUSA have come to an end…but the journey goes on! ?? While many GoUSA participants are now taking the opportunity to network with partners and expand their professional connections, the momentum continues. ?? Silicon Valley: Our Austrian startups made a significant impact during the Silicon Valley program. The highlight was undoubtedly our Demo Night last week, where talented entrepreneurs had just 3 minutes to pitch their innovative ideas to a discerning audience of investors, founders, mentors, and friends of Austria. A special congratulations to Georg Molzer, CEO & Founder of Shadowmap, for winning the popular vote! ?? Boston: Meanwhile, our Boston cohort gained invaluable insights and practical skills through a series of workshops, including a deep dive into cap table structuring. They also had the opportunity to attend a prestigious conference, expanding their networks and knowledge base.
