About the last edition
Tech Investors Academy’s first edition aimed at fostering collaboration among investors in an educational environment. The program combined a series of online masterclasses with an offline event, featuring guest speakers who were investors and founders of start-ups.
The masterclass sessions organized by Seedblink are extremely useful because they give access to targeted knowledge from experienced professionals. In just a few hours, you can learn and access very valuable resources, otherwise hard to find, but essential in order to understand how investments work and what are the key things to consider when making an investment in start-ups, for instance depending on the stage of the start-up or the macroeconomic context. For founders, such masterclasses are useful to understand the external view and what makes a start-up valuable in the eyes of the investors.
