HTwenty had the privilege of attending another captivating Latam Tech Forum event organized by Riverwood Capital in Miami recently. ⠀ The atmosphere was vibrant and dynamic, and it was truly inspiring to witness Series B transactions unfolding for top-tier companies. This just reinforces our belief that companies can still achieve remarkable outcomes, even in challenging times. ⠀ Despite the hurdles that the technology industry may face, one thing remains constant: technology never rests. Regardless of economic downturns or uncertainties, technology always perseveres. ⠀ Economic upheavals don't have to spell doom for technology companies, especially innovative ones. Technology operates independently of economic cycles, and it persists through all conditions - as they say, amidst chaos lies opportunity. ⠀ We extend our gratitude for the invitation to participate and engage in these enriching conversations. ⠀ Additionally, we had the pleasure of hosting a casual networking lunch as part of the LTF event, bringing together over 20 portfolio companies, investors, advisors, and thought leaders for fruitful discussions and idea exchange. A heartfelt thank you to all who joined us and contributed to the dialogue. Also a very special thanks to Federico Storani and Francisco Alvarez-Demalde for inviting us once again to Riverwood. ⠀ Looking forward to reconnecting next year! ⠀ #Miami #LATAM #LatinAmerica #Technology #Innovation

Here goes the third fact about La French Tech: We have an awesome team. Have you had the chance to get acquainted with our team yet? You might have encountered a few of us at our events, but have you ever wondered how we all found ourselves in La French Tech? Well, it turns out that like minds tend to gravitate toward each other, and what unites us is a shared passion for technology and strong connections to France. Some of us are entrepreneurs running our own businesses, while others bring extensive institutional experience in fostering business communication and collaboration. We're hands-on practitioners, not just theorists when it comes to business and tech! And here is a big shout-out to: Alexis Auvitu, Elise Azria, Walid Barsali, MBA, Léna Bergougnan-Dijou, Romain Belveze, Aurélie Blaise, Meyll Boukambou, Manassé BOKOLE, Florian B., Vincent Brenier, Clara Chappaz, Nicolas Cormier, Aleksandra Le Provost - Czerwiakowska, Nassim Daicha, Frédéric Delamare, Aurélien Deleusière, Nicolas Desruelles, Lou Duponchel, Louis FLEURET, Marine Fontugne, Caroline Frank, Elsa Guippe, Julien Hallier, Emilia INI, Samira I., Michal Klepaczko, Emmanuel Lickel-Skiba, Sofiene LOURIMI, Maximilien Marek, Mathilde Monnier, Catherine Palpant, Victoria Perez, Clara Petifils, Charlotte Piana, Romain Rebour, Marie Robey, Lucie Roch, Antoine Roson, Alexandre Sille, Audrey SLIWINSKI, Marta Subko, Adam Szmatula, Alice Woda, Karolina Zawitaj

OK, it's now official -- I'm going to be opening for Pitbull in Miami on April 19. Tickets are now on sale for $1695. I know, you've got lots of questions. Do I call him Pit? (Not sure). How long is my set? (20 minutes). Will he bring me out to sing Fireball with him? (Not likely, but I'm packing a white suit and practicing in the shower just in case). Can you sing Rob? (um....) OK, it's not a concert. It's a global tech conference called eMerge Americas that brings together entrepreneurs and investors and leaders for a series of talks and workshops. It's a fabulous event with a lot of great speakers. I'm headed out there to speak with One Six One Ventures' Justis Mendez about integrity in business, and as the schedule works out, we'll be taking the main stage right before Armando Christian Perez (aka Pitbull), who is also an investor and entrepreneur. Will Pitbull think this post is funny (let's hope he doesn't see it...but my kids can't stop laughing at the thought of me singing backup on "Timber" ). If you're a tech investor/entrepreneur and can get to Miami in April, it should be a terrific conference, I highly recommend it...just don't come expecting to see me sing. #innovation #entrepreneurship #venturecapital #conference2024 https://lnkd.in/gRt9e7NS

Halfway through, half to go! Today, I am at Hinterland of Things in Bielefeld with my partner in crime, Moritz von Raczeck - we’re here for a day revolving around B2B Entrepreneurship and how different perspectives from Mittlestand, Start-ups, and investing, together can craft the future of innovation for Germany. If this is your first time attending Hinterland of Things, I might have a few tips for you on how to make the most of the event: - Leverage the app: HoT has built an efficient app for connecting to fellow attendees based on your profile, interests, and common goal - kudos to the organizer for crafting an optimal solution for scheduling meetings and planning the day. - Set your expectations: Onboarding the event with a clear idea of what you want out of it not only helps you prioritize but also avoids getting overwhelmed with the many events, classes, and talks going on simultaneously. - Let the stress go: I know that there exists a high pressure on making the most out of the day but Hinterland of Things is designed for easy and pleasant networking with like-minded people - there’s something for everyone, so have fun! I am currently on my way to get some food before joining back for the exciting ride - hit me up if you have some cool food recommendations (or if you want to chat later over coffee)! Thanks so far for those exciting conversations We had so far!

Some people wait for things to happen, some people step up and make them happen. Rafi Mizrachi's desire to create a space for founders led him to become our first #FoundersLive #Vienna city leader. If you've got this kind of drive to lead, see link in comments to bring us to your city. We've got more European cities coming, too, as we continue our growth throughout the region in 2023. #founderstories #founder #startup #entrepreneurship

Did companies like Tesla and Apple truly address global problems? What's the right approach to innovation? Does crafting solutions for consumer problems align with their overall aspirations? Donald Farmer, VP of Research and Innovation at Nobody Studios, advocates for a different perspective: "Don't solve problems; create new journeys." Donald recently delivered an enlightening 8-minute speech titled "Don't solve problems. How to take a broader view of what people really need" during our weekly Nobody Studios leadership team meeting. His wealth of expertise, extensive experience, and thought-provoking insights challenged our team to think outside of the box. Additionally, Donald's perspective left me reflective upon some of my existing thoughts around innovation. Donald Farmer, thank you for joining us, and providing invaluable insights that stretched our thinking to new lengths.
