Thanks to the incredible support of the Scottish Govtech Cluster, I recently had the opportunity to attend Bits & Pretzels 2024 in Munich. As a startup founder at Neve Learning, this conference was an invaluable experience that connected me with industry leaders, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs.
My Experience at Bits & Pretzels '24 Conference
Highlights from the Conference
Keynote Speeches: I was particularly inspired by Tobias Ulrich Gotthardt, Staatssekretär, Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Landesentwicklung und Energie, and Aron Gelbard, CEO and Founder of Bloom & Wild. Their insights on scaling to profitability and building a successful brand provided valuable guidance for growing my startup.
Networking Opportunities: Bits & Pretzels offered ample opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals. Attending such a prestigious conference wouldn't have been possible without the travel assistance provided by The Scottish Govtech Cluster. Their commitment to supporting Scottish startups is truly commendable. I had the chance to meet with potential investors, discuss our fundraising plans, and receive feedback on our pitch deck and set up future meetings.
Learning Sessions: The conference featured a variety of workshops and panel discussions on topics relevant to startups, such as fundraising strategies, investor expectations, and negotiating term sheets. These sessions helped me gain new perspectives and practical advice.
My Takeaways
One of the biggest takeaways from the conference was the importance of building strong relationships with investors. I learned that effective communication, a compelling pitch, and a solid understanding of the investment landscape are crucial for securing funding.
Overall, Bits & Pretzels was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to any startup founder. The conference provided me with valuable insights, connections, and inspiration that will undoubtedly help me take Neve Learning to the next level.
