FoodHack Lisbon: Fundraising stories – How to raise in the current environment
Capital is tighter, valuations are leaner, and expectations are higher. While attention skews to AI and data centers, disciplined food-tech founders are raising on traction, not hype.
In this session, we’ll bring you entrepreneurs who successfully raised investment, investors who focus on traditional and alternative funding methods, and what it really takes to fundraise in the current environment.
We're lucky to have as our guest speakers:
Chirag Shamdasani, Climate Action Consultant @ MasterCard Foundation
Nuno Leite, Founding Partner @ SEAentia
Miguel Jordão, CBO @ Gardin, Managing Partner @ Newland Syndicate
Paulo Gaspar, Co-Founder & CEO @ BRAINR
Come join us to discover their stories and inside opinions.
The event is free but registration is mandatory.
