Capital, Startups and Community. The next generation of founders and investors at work

​🇬🇧 This workshop will be held entirely in English. 🇬🇧

Building a startup takes much more than capital: it requires community, talent, network and access to the right markets. In this workshop we'll explore what it really takes, today, to found and grow a company in Europe — through the perspectives of those who live it every day, as founders, investors and community builders.

​Four speakers will share their point of view on marketing and positioning, the power of community, first-hand founder experience across Italy, Spain and the US, and what investors look for — with lessons from the Italian and Spanish startup ecosystems. This will be followed by a panel discussion to compare notes on what emerged, and a Q&A space for the audience.

​Speakers:

​- Carmelo Abate — Marketing Consultant for tech startups

​- Lorenzo Milano — Co-Founder, Rookiess

​- Alessio Primo Gavinelli — CEO, Vocations

​- Rocío Pillado — Partner, Adara Ventures

​Moderator: Riccardo Sandretto
