It really opened up our appetite for meeting investors and entrepreneurs alike and was a valuable learning experience.  A big thank you to the VentureConnect team for this opportunity!” (Mariuca Macovei – IDEALIST)
  • “It was a great experience. I participated in quite a few conferences and events, but VentureConnect was probably one of the best organized.” (Emil Voica – Evosoft Media).

  • “I attended VentureConnent last year. What did it bring me? A good exchange of contacts and ideas, but also the chance to support my business idea in an entertaining and professional environment. I endorse the initiative and I hope VentureConnect will continue.” (Florin Grozea – Digital Mashrooms)
