Ventures Thrive - a pan-European venture builder for deeptech founders - is hosting an online Q&A session to answer any questions about applying for the programme’s second cohort.

The webinar will be addressed by Programme Coordinators Antti Heikkilä (CEO at Acceler8) and Adriane Thrash (Managing Partner at Anthology Ventures). The two speakers will also be sharing some insights into the makings of a successful Ventures Thrive application.

This online event, taking place on Tuesday 5th December from 5pm - 5:30pm CET is open to the general public, although it is specifically targeting deeptech founders interested in joining the second cohort of Ventures Thrive. Entrance is free of charge.

The Q&A session will be held after an online investors’ roundtable discussion hosted by the same programme - ‘Success Stories from Central and Southeastern Europe’.

Commencing at 4pm CET on Tuesday 5th December, this discussion will be diving into the triumphs and insights of Adrian Suteu (Membership Manager, European Microfinance Network), Dimitris Matsakis (Partner, P.L.A.N.), Matthew Caruana (CEO, JA Malta Foundation), Tessa McIver (Community Manager, Warsaw Equity Group), and Wojciech Ratymirski (General Partner, Radix Ventures); five individuals who have redefined the entrepreneurial narrative in this dynamic region.
