MAIN STAGE
One night. All about 1-on-1 connections.
TRUESDAYS: September Speed-Mentoring & Business Mixer turns our regular meetup into a one-night matchmaking experiment for the startup and tech community in Prague — and this time it’s the biggest speed-mentoring edition of 2026. Instead of traditional panels, the evening is built around curated, one-on-one interactions with the investors, mentors and founders you actually want to meet.
Speed-Mentoring
From the early evening, investors and mentors run focused, 1-on-1 SPEED-MENTORING sessions — 10-minute meetings on fundraising, sales, product, expansion and strategy. Each investor or mentor offers 4 × 10-minute slots, and startups can book up to 4 meetings. Come prepared: the sharper your questions, the more you get out of every slot. Speed-mentoring needs a separate registration and slots are limited.
Business Mixer
After that, our Business Mixer keeps the connections coming: four rounds, eight minutes per round, a new table and a new group of people every time. No pitch deck, no pressure — just structured serendipity between founders, operators, freelancers and investors looking for collaborators, customers or co-founders.
