For the last few years, we have created events around the major trends in payments seen from the inside but for this third event of the year, we wanted to discuss these trends with the very people investing in them and taking the risk of accelerating or creating them.
During this event, we will ask questions to these successful and very well known investors to understand:
- their vision of the market today
- what are the past, present and potential future trends they have identified
- If mobile is entering a bubble or still has potential
- how and when to get involved with startups when you are an executive from a stable company
- best way to get funding nowadays
- what are the winning business models from an investor perspective
- lessons learnt and ugly stories
- is Silicon Valley still a magnet?
For this event, we have discussed with many VCs and have selected these ones for at least one of the following reasons:
- a good understanding of the payment or commerce space
- a disruptive business models compared to other firms in the same category
- an international interest to either bring companies to Silicon Valley or invest in their own counrty
- they represent a category of investors that we see growing
- they are smart and we are sure you will be impressed as well
We have invited for this event FTV Capital, American Express Ventures, 500 Startups, Plug & Play, Xseed Capital and North Hill Ventures. Take a look.
