Pitch
Arena is one of the few networking events in the Benelux
for seed and early stage founders. The evening event
highlights the newest ideas and cutting-edge businesses,
helping our innovators gain traction among their peers.
In the arena
we have:
A panel on
"Venturing USA"
The USA remains thé most important market for
ICT and internet companies. Especially, the valley is a
magnet for entrepreneurs from all over the world. A
crowded place filled with entrepreneurial individuals.
For any start-up it has resources, capital, talent and
access to the early adopter market, i.e. clients. Being
among other entrepreneurs keeps the entrepreneur's mind
sharp. But is it easy for a Belgian start-up to get a
foothold in the golden valley? Are these resources
easily available for Western European entrepreneurs?
What makes Belgian entrepreneurs tick to go to the US
and claim their position in this fiercely competitive environment?
Any start-up
will benefit from the findings and experiences shared
by this panel of 2 Belgian entrepreneurs running a venture
capital backed business and the succesful serial
entrepreneur Bart Becks. All of them are very active in the
US or are even living there.
