We are delighted to invite you to join us for a breakfast and a morning session with "Silicon Valley gurus", Chris Vargas and Risto Lähdesmäki.
Angel investor, successful serial entrepreneur, Chris Vargas and Finnish award-winning entrepreneur Risto Lähdesmäki (both based in the Valley) will share their views and insights on what venture capital investors are expecting from startups, what are the major business trends and how to break through in the Valley. You will have a chance to hear their views on whether there is a venture capital bubble forming in the Valley and if and how you should take it into account in your company's fund-raising.
This is a good opportunity to ask questions, discuss and exchange views with other startup founders who are interested in expanding their businesses to the US.
