Here’s a recap of the event: The night was filled with invaluable insights shared by our panel discussion members (a big thank you to them!), alongside the magic of our community—knowledge-sharing, new #connections, and #collaborations. Our two startups pitched fiercely for a fast track into the eMerge Americas 2025 accelerator. The cherry on top?

Scalable Growth: Aim for $100M ARR milestones. 4. Strong Teams: Combine technical and industry expertise. 5. Adaptability: Teams must navigate market changes effectively. 6. Open-Minded Founders: Resilient, adaptable founders thrive. 7. Large Market Potential: Target billion-dollar market opportunities. 8. Networking is Key: Build personal relationships with investors, avoid generic submissions. 🍒 Early Support: Sometimes, B.C. invests at pre-seed stages. Sandy Kory (HorizonVC), key points they look at in startups: 1. Focus on Early-Stage Startups: Prioritizes founders in the earliest phases. 2. Master Building and Selling: Founders should excel at both creating and selling. 3. Strong Sense of Agency: Take initiative and tackle challenges. 4. Embrace Hard Tasks: Lean into uncomfortable roles like selling. 5. Leverage AI Tools: Use AI to create impactful solutions, even without deep technical skills. 6. Solve Real Problems: Focus on genuine customer needs, not flashy tech. 🚀 Startup Pitch Competition - Prize: Fast Track into eMerge Americas 2025 🏆 Winner: ANDREA CINELLI (FoolFarm) with VOICEME.
