🚀 Reflecting on VDS... One year ago, we launched the first version of what is now known as Critical Match—a platform crafted by and for the tabletop community. Thanks to the unwavering support of the Centro Europeo de Empresas e Innovación de Navarra, we embarked on a journey to find investors who could help us take Critical Match to the next level. And guess what? 🎯 We’ve achieved our goal! We're coming back with over 5 connections with VCs and BA groups who, after seeing our pitch, want to dive deeper into the project. But that’s not even the most exciting part (yes, I know... having 5 big companies that manage millions interested in our project is incredibly thrilling 🤯). What made the experience even better was the community—meeting people from other industries, corporate leaders, and fellow entrepreneurs who approached us just to learn about what we do. Many of them are also passionate fans of the Tabletop world! We’re returning with renewed enthusiasm to keep building something as exciting as Critical Match, and honestly, our spirits are sky-high! 🌌 Our next challenges? Meetings with the investors,along with upcoming CEIN events where we’ll get to showcase Critical Match to investors even more—this time, at our home. 🌍

What an insightful talk from such a kind and ispiring person. I loved hearing Margaret’s insights on the topic of networking. Like most things in entrepreneurship, knowing and living your values is everything. I’ve always said I love networking but I’m not very good at it (because I spend all my time chatting and it never feels like ‘networking’). I’m going to stop saying that because I’ve realised that networking is all about getting to know people and what drives them (rather than just finding out what they do for a living). Comparing growing your network to growing a garden was a brilliant metaphor from Margaret. You need to care for your whole network, which doesn’t mean everything all at once but making sure that you are putting energy into the right places at the right times. On a personal note, when I was introduced to Margaret she immediately knew of someone in her network that would be great for me to connect with for my Financial Literacy Education project. A true example of living your values. Thank-you so much Margaret for generously sharing your insights on networking (and your time). Through sharing so many valuable insights, you have given a group of start ups/new businesses a real ‘hand up’ when it comes to growing (and tending to) their networks. 💕

A pitch isn’t just a presentation; it’s your story, your passion, and your startup’s future, all rolled into one. It’s about sparking curiosity and drawing people into your vision. 🌟 And when you pitch, you’re not just targeting investors or fundraising; you’re building relationships with any stakeholder, including potential users or partners or collaborators. MIT Female Founders Pitch Competition was the first time I had pitched in a while and the opportunity was such a great reminder on why a powerful pitch is your best foot forward. Excited to keep iterating on my startup story and building how I tell my vision. 🎉 ✨ #StartupLife #Entrepreneurship #Pitching #Innovation #StartupSuccess #PitchCompetitions

Tip for networking events: Start by connecting on a personal level—lean into soft leads and get to know people without jumping straight to business. Building genuine relationships first creates a strong foundation for meaningful business connections down the road. It’s all about relationships! Thanks for the invite Ken Jurina another successful SynergyYEG in the books!
