Georgian Startup Summit & Startup World Cup
August 20-21, 2024 Batumi, Georgia
The “One-Stop-Shop” for Investors Visiting the Region
Good Silicon Valley investors have a ton of incoming deal-flow. Yet they are always on the lookout for new interesting companies, and markets they are not yet connected to. Georgian Startup Summit events bridge these top investors with events that showcase the best startups from multiple countries. So an investor gets a taste of 10 countries without having to spend weeks in these smaller markets. This gives you a gateway to Silicon Valley closer to home, and visa-free.
