The Rally – What makes a successful founder?

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.

Join us for 30 min of sharing and 30 min of small group networking where you will have the chance to get to know better few fellow founders and investors.
