Monday was the first day of the 500 Eurasia pitching practice during the phase three of the program. Great to see everyone's first take, get the first feedback and start the grind on editing, updating and rehearsing the script. This whole week will be just that plus learning from each other including mentors and guest speakers. ?? Demo day pitch prep in full swing! More updates and insights to follow! ?? #startuplife

Day 1 at Slush 2024: What a Start! ?? Wow, what an incredible first day at Slush! The energy here is just unmatched. From inspiring conversations to exciting new connections, this event truly lives up to its hype. ??? Kicked things off with &Volume recording a podcast episode for Get Started Media hosted by the amazing Ryan Woods! Stay tuned, it’s dropping soon. ?? Got to listen to Pedro Santos Vieira from 500 Global, the VC that &Volume proudly belongs to through the Eurasian batch. Great to see our mentor representing and sharing valuable insights! ?? Had the chance to meet with some brilliant minds, media, investors, and a ton of super-cool start-ups doing incredible things. Slush is the perfect melting pot for innovation, and &Volume was here for every bit of it. ?? Wrapped up the day at an inspiring side event by Helsinki Fintech Farm, the #1 Nordic growth partner connecting Fintechs, Banks, and Tech Innovators. Huge thanks to Ola Sundell for hosting such a dynamic gathering! Slush Day 1, has been amazing, can’t wait to see what Day 2 has in store! ?? #Slush2024 #Innovation #FinTech #Growth #NVolume

First pic, last pic, and everything in between. 75mins in the room with early-stage founders looking to learn anything and everything that Pedro Santos Vieira had to share about #startupgrowth and #fundraising. This time though, telling it from a 2x Ironman Finisher perspective (yes, full IM, twice). "Mind over matter"..."Don't always assume you know your market and customers - ASK, MEASURE, REACT"..."How do you like being asked for $", The best story you can tell for fundraising is to let your traction do the talking"...and more! We enjoyed sharing some tips and thoughts and about bringing investment opportunities to founders in regions that are often overlooked and underserved (500 Global). Big thanks to the Slush Investor Team and volunteers on the ground for the top-tier support and we'd be happy to host you too (Slush team) for our Demo Day this Dec 5 in Tbilisi! ?? That's a wrap for Day 1, we're ready for Day 2. ?? You?

We're looking forward to a good exchange and massive founder energy in the room ??♀? and only wish that we could say yes to the 400+ of you that signed up!??

Last week, I had the pleasure of representing Beep at the Web Summit 2024 ? Besides averaging over 20,000 steps daily venue-hopping, tapping into the latest in tech, discussing marketing best practices, scanning countless QR codes, and adding new innovative tools to my martech stack, I had the opportunity to speak on Beep's latest developments at the GITA?StartUP in Georgia pavilion ??
