Hvem er vi? Hvilken slags fond er vi? Og hvorfor skal en startup overveje at tage en investering fra os? Investorernes pitch skulle være korte og præcise, da de hver fik 3 minutter på scenen til The Investor Series onsdag. Hver præsentationsrunde blev efterfulgt af en klassisk matchmaking session, hvor hver VC blev sat sammen med 3 nordiske startups.

Danmark kan blive Tech hub

Og der er en god grund til, at over 70 investorer var klar til at pitche sig selv til de danske tech startups.

”There are a lot of tech savvy people in Denmark, and the tech environment is very advanced and agile. Copenhagen is very attractive for foreign investors due to the amount of smart companies that are quick to identify new trends and solutions. They are very ready to embrace new technology here in Denmark,” sagde business angel Stefano Mezzadri, der deltog i eventet.

If you look at the Agritech industry, Denmark has positioned themselves to be number one in innovation and in the art of going from concept to scale.

Det var også det gode tech økosystem, som bragte Mark Durno fra AgriFood Rockstart til Danmark, og grunden til, at inversteringsfonden vil fokusere mere på København i fremtiden.

“We’re looking for Agritech and Foodtech startups, and the ecosystem for those startups is extremely strong in Denmark. If you look at the Agritech industry, Denmark has positioned themselves to be number one in innovation and in the art of going from concept to scale.”

Mark Durno råder også danske techselskaber til at se ud over det danske marked:

“Target your market very quickly and find your strategic partners for those markets as soon as you can. Don’t wait till you have secured your local market, just do it!”
