Ivaylo Simov presented to the audience the Eleven Fund and determined it as a large community of investors, mentors and entrepreneurs, as a fund-accelerator providing finance for starting a business by incremental income. Its work is focused on innovative ideas and it creates programmes for successful business, outlined the lecturer. 

Participants in the meeting

LAUNCHub was presented by Todor Breshkov. The fund participates as a co-team and engaged partner in all of “the starts up” which means it provides an access to a wide network of experts, technological companies, successful entrepreneurs and investors. Starting up a business is a hard initiative so there are not many people stimulating an innovative business, pointed out Breshkov.

Students were more interested in the role of the team for developing a successful company. The teams should be homogeneous and strong, to have an experience for up building, outlined Breshkov. During the meeting were also commented the issues of investments, perspectives for the future, etc.
