PANELISTS:

AGENDA:


We’ll be addressing questions such as: 
  • Investments trends in XR startups
  • Notable recent investments
  • What are VC’s looking for in XR right now?
  • How should you think about finding and pitching potential investors while most of Europe is still in lockdown?
  • At what stage is it worth approaching VC’s in the US? And are they looking at things differently in their market?
  • Do we expect the appetite for investing in this sector to increase or decrease in the next 12 months?
  • ...and your questions!

We will be leaving plenty of room for Q&A’s in the first hour and then jump to VR for the second hour to network and continue the conversation ‘in person’.

First hour panel discussion with panelists: Dave Haynes (Investor Vive X - UK), Niko Bonatsos (Investor General Catalyst), Matt Miesnieks (CEO 6D.ai - Acquired by Niantic), Ashley Flucas (angel investor), and moderated by Ori Inbar (Investor, Super Ventures)
Second hour we'll meet in EngageVR

Join to find out more about what companies Vive X is currently looking to fund in Europe.
