The fact that we bring to our country speakers from United Kingdom, France, Spain, Belgium, China, Canada, United States, Brazil, Mozambique, Cabo Verde, South Africa, among others, allows to evidence the international nature of not only of the event but also of the Venture Capital itself.

� Elevator Pitch


Along the congress will be given the opportunity to several entrepreneurs of exposing their projects to the public in 5 minutespresentations. The presentations take place in a interpolate way with the congress’s agenda, and have the aim to not only disclosure to the general public new emerging business opportunities, but also to transmit a little of the entrepreneurial spirit that exists in Portugal. This is an innovative initiative in Portugal, having already been introduced in our country in the last events organized by Gesventure and with very positive results.

The concept elevator pitch comes from the 5 minutes that the entrepreneur has when he encounters a potential investor in the elevator. In those 5 minutes he will have to ‘sell’ his idea and arouse the investor’s interest to know more about the project-

� Private SessionsAt the same time of the congress, there will take place sessions in a private environment with a venture capitayst that is sponsor of the event. In these sessions, the entrepreneurs and projects previously selected by Gesventure, will have the opportunity to exclusively present to a VC the guidelines of their business plan and try to take them to a following meeting. Each presentation has 15 minutes.
