Summer Meetup: TRUESDAYS Edition
aka Summer Fusion Edition…
Before Prague slows down for the summer, we’re bringing together three communities for one huge startup meetup in Prague.
TRUESDAYS, Startup Kitchen and the Technology Incubation meetup are joining forces for a special summer edition at Radlická Kulturní Sportovna.
And this time, investors are stepping onto the stage.
As part of the Startup Grilling format, investors and ecosystem players will pitch themselves directly to founders and face live questions from a startup jury.
Yes. Investors pitching.
Yes. They will get grilled.
