DigitsUp Live Vienna: learn startup investing, by doing
Shape the future you want to live in
Everyone talks about startup investing but very few actually do it.
In the EU only about 1 in 11,000 people is an angel investor, and less than 15% of them are women!
We want to bring more ignition power to early stage innovation in Europe, together with you!
What you can expect?
Two startups will pitch live:
Xenia Galkina, CEO & co-founder of AI Baseline
Shapol Majid, Founder & CEO of Mamosa
Our investors Paul G. Putz (Danube Angels), Tetyana Kohansal (ks actuaries) and Marius Stoian (Nordwind Growth) will ask the founders the questions they would ask before investing.
Then it’s your turn: you get to analyse both investment opportunities in small, guided, groups.
Plus: Leonie Mueller from Haslinger / Nagele will walk you through the best legal and tax set up for first-time investors in Austria.
You don’t need any investing experience to join. If you already invest in ETFs, stocks or real estate, this is a great way to see how you can grow your portfolio.

About the organizers
DigitsUp is building Europe’s next generation of angel investors.
We help accomplished professionals turn their experience, expertise, and capital into ownership by giving them the knowledge, network, and access needed to invest in promising early-stage companies.
We firmly believe the future should not be shaped only by a small circle of traditional investors. More people should have the opportunity to back the technologies they believe in, support exceptional founders, and participate in the value they help create.
Through practical education, curated startup opportunities, and collaborative investing, DigitsUp makes angel investing more accessible, informed, and inclusive.
