On October 19, we held the second VentureConnect edition in Timisoara. As for the meeting in Cluj, we enjoyed the presence of Douglas Richard: entrepreneur, investor and a real business mentor for young entrepreneurs through the European School for Startups program.
Of the eight submitted projects for the final meeting in Timisoara were chosen two businesses that have shown considerable growth potential: Status Pimp, a platform that offers means of business communication through pltforms such as: Yahoo Messenger, Facebook or Twitter and 123ContactForm, a tool created to carry out online forms in a more simple, fast and easy manner for non-experienced users.
“We are delighted to come to Timisoara with VentureConnect. After last week’s edition in Cluj, we are confident that we have chosen wisely: Romanian entrepreneurs are motivated by example. And the best way to demonstrate how important it has become the business vision is by bringing in Cluj, Timisoara and Bucharest Doug Richard, founder of School for Startups. The investor – entrepreneur meeting are useful for both sides: on the one hand we see really interesting projects throughout Romania, and on the other hand we discovered a creative manner through which we can polish characters, to unveil business opportunities and to penetrate the local market with valid business mentoring programs.” mentions Péter Barta believes, Executive Director Post-Privatization.
“VentureConnect comes to reinforce the concept it started from: bring a true business atmosphere locally and the know-how already demonstrated in previous editions. I am personally glad that VentureConnect included Timisoara in their city tour this year, said Stefan Szakal, Managing Partner Studio X3.
VentureConnect final meeting takes place on November 23 at Hotel Intercontinental. and projects can be submitted until November 11.
