BLOCK71 x Maria 01: Validate Your Pitch with VCs
What happens when two of the largest startup ecosystems in the world join forces to bridge the 8,000km gap between Southeast Asia and the Nordics? 🇸🇬🤝🇫🇮
You get a global stage built for the next generation of Deep Tech powerhouses.
BLOCK71 and Maria 01 are coming together to co-organize a high-stakes Global Pitching Session. We are stripping away the standard "info session" slides and giving founders exactly what they need: real-time feedback from cross-continental investors and a deep dive into navigating international market entry.
The transition from Seed to Series A is the most dangerous phase for any startup. You have the tech, but you likely lack the operational infrastructure or the global network to scale.
This is the session where you start bridging that gap.
🎙️ Meet the VC Panel:
Mia Harrison - Business Manager, VC & Corporate Development at Constructor Capital (Swiss based early-stage capital firm investing in Deep Tech, Software, and Edtech).
Vadim Shpak - Venture Partner at Vickers Venture Partners (global venture capital firm investing in Deep Tech start-ups in Healthcare, Biotechnology, Renewable Energy, Nanotechnology and Artificial Intelligence).
