About this event

A session where we deep dive into some interesting conversations about what do successful founders have in common. With more than two-thirds of the startups never delivering a return for their investors, this is a discussion led by experienced investors that will give a very tangible perspective about what are the markers of success they are looking for in a founder.

Session Agenda – 5 min intro Dr. Cornelius Boersch, 25 min discussion with Ricardo Weder, Jorge Perez & Saul Zugasti, 25 Q&A and 5 min closing.
