This year, Ciklum became a Silver Sponsor of the event and participated in two sessions within Elevating Founders Track.?
Matt Neal, Global Digital Transformation and UK Market Lead at Ciklum discussed the road from MVP to IPO and how to build the future with Tanya Suarez, Founder at IoT Tribe and Karen McCormick, CIO at Beringea.
Tom Hedley, Head of Fast Growth, Ciklum was invited to open a Fintech Pitching Session and shared some tips for startups on their journey from MVP to IPO.
Tom attended the offline part of the Elevating Founders on September 23, and we are happy to share his reflection.
“Europe is in a new renaissance period for venture-backed startups. The ambition of Europe's founders has shifted from the acquisition as success to a true ambition to become globally dominant players, akin to Google or Amazon in the US.
Europe's talent pools especially technical,? are now focusing in larger and larger numbers on building European companies rather than supporting the growth of US competitors.
Europe is currently the best place to find Value for investors outstripping all other regions. The coming together of deep product and domain expertise that Europe has always had is leading to an explosion in the success of startups across the continent.”
