Iratel Ventures Breakfast Series #5
We had the pleasure of hosting an amazing group of ecosystem players during the Iratel Ventures Breakfast Series #5 on Thursday. These events are usually open to RSVPs a week before the event.
The format was based on Lean Coffee, an agenda less but structured one where everyone got to introduce themselves, nominate a topic to be discussed and then vote for the most popular ones by the group. The most upvoted topics were:
Legal Issues and Infrastructure
Due Diligence
Attracting Foreign Investment
We believe the more open the dialogue, the better it will allow innovation and bringing different disciplines together. For the next meetings, we will try and focus on the same model with broad themes to focus on. On the other hand, in order to have meaningful discussions, we will keep the numbers to a max of 15.
We’re so glad our guests constantly help us improve these events by the feedback they provide:
More audience engineering, make a rule that 50% of the audience have to be new every time. Diversify in men and women. Diversify in Industry, in every aspect. Teach people how to map knowledge from one kind to another.
Finally, if you’d like to be added to the breakfast mailing list, please sign up or follow us on LinkedIn.
This is the seventh in a series of posts about Iratel Ventures Events. We’d love to hear from teams with crazy (but commercial) startups. Get in touch or attend our breakfast series. Finally, don’t forget to get your IV Score or talk to our FundingBot to prepare for your next VC meeting.
