START Warsaw

START Warsaw at Inovo VC

On Monday our STARTies had the opportunity to visit Inovo VC - one of the leading venture capital funds in Warsaw

We talked about:
• how VCs evaluate startups
• what early-stage founders usually get wrong
• how fundraising actually looks behind the scenes
• and what it takes to build companies investors truly believe in

For many of our members, it was also a chance to ask honest questions, better understand the startup ecosystem, and meet people actively shaping it.

(and... we also checked out beautiful views from their terrace)

Big thanks to the Inovo team for having us 🤝
