Pitch to a President: Latvian startups in NYC (Invitation only)
Investors and Latvian startups, join us in Manhattan for Invitation-only gathering in NYC for a curated group of investors, Latvian founders and the President of Latvia. 🎉
The President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs, is visiting New York City accompanied by some of Latvia's most exciting startups. This event offers NYC investors a unique opportunity to shake hands with one of the most startup-friendly Presidents in Europe, hear pitches from some of the top Latvian startups, and network in a unique private setting at the estate of FJ Labs General Partner, Fabrice Grinda in Manhattan.
Latvia may be a dot on the map, but its founders are building for global markets. The idea is simple, to build bridges between one of Europe's smallest countries and one of the world's biggest markets, and to show that small countries can build BIG. 🚀
