IE Venture Capital Programs Alumni Quarterly Meeting

​Rebuilding an Ecosystem in Exile: From Minsk to Warsaw and Madrid, Imaguru's Story

​Overview

​We all know how hard it is to build a company from scratch.
Building one in exile, while creating a new life and community in unfamiliar surroundings, is an even greater challenge.

​At our next IE VC Programs Alumni online event, we’ll meet Tania Marinich (Imaguru and IE VC Programs Alumna) and Anastasiya Khamiankova, co-founders of Imaguru Hub & Fund, one of Eastern Europe’s leading startup hubs, now successfully rebuilding and growing hubs in Warsaw and Madrid after being forced to leave Belarus.

​Join us to hear their remarkable story, exchange ideas, and connect with fellow founders and alumni across the IE network.
