Returning to Valletta for the EU-Startups Summit was a strong reminder of the practical value of bringing over two thousand founders and investors together in one place.
For Soulmates Ventures, attending these events is a necessity. It allows us to meet face-to-face with the European innovation ecosystem as well as reconnect with familiar faces. The conversations we have on the ground consistently provide useful context and a fresh perspective for our ongoing work as a sustainable venture capital fund.
During the summit, Michal Sikyta gave a presentation that opened up several productive discussions. We appreciate everyone who took the time to connect with him, as well as with Hynek Sochor, Arjun Sirohi, and Tomáš Kabeláč. In-person meetings remain the most effective way to share industry insights, discuss concrete solutions, and find common ground with founders across the continent.
