About the event

IBB Ventures has backed numerous innovative companies from Berlin. In this session, Rayk will take you behind the scenes of the investment process: What catches an investor’s attention? How do they assess a startup at an early stage? What makes a founder convincing — and what can make an otherwise promising company a pass?

​Rather than focusing on theory, the session is designed to give you a practical understanding of how investors think and what you can do to become better prepared for conversations with VCs.

​The session is aimed at upcoming founders, researchers, PhD candidates, and early-stage founders who are interested in turning innovative ideas into companies — whether you are just exploring the possibility of founding or already working on your startup.

​Bring your questions, your ideas, and your assumptions about venture capital. We’ll challenge them together.
