IE VENTURE DAY, July 9th
7pm-11:30pm
Join us for Venture Day Madrid!
Come and celebrate with us online as we showcase the best Startups of IE University.
While because of Covid 19 we are only allowed to have 100 guests face to face, and believe it or not, that just about makes up all the startup participants in Venture Day, we hope the rest of you will join us online for a fun evening of Pitches, Speakers and Music…
This July, Venture Day's main theme is Opportunities in Times of Uncertainty. We have the honor of having Ned Taleb, a Lebanese serial entrepreneur who has co-founded 12 companies including B-Yond, AccuV and Nexius in the US.
Throughout the afternoon will be elevator pitches from our runner-up teams who are not to be underestimated. Oftentimes, our runner-up teams become star alumni success stories!
Finally, at 8pm Venture Day's Finalist Competition will begin! We will have IE's top startup finalists from student and alumni teams!
Join us via STREAMING HERE.
