COVID-19 Update from Wolves Summit’s VP

Dear friends and colleagues,

Firstly, we wanted to say once again - thank you. 

This year, necessity has forced us to rethink how we interact with one another. 

In March 2020 we decided to pilot a new series of online side-events as a response to the global health crisis. These events have set the standard for what a virtual conference should be. In the last three months, we have empowered over 300 startup founders connecting them with investors and executives in the field of finance, technology development, and science.

We could not have succeeded without you, our community of startups, investors, and partners who have been with us all the way.

Following the success of the 100 Wolves Pitching Contest series, we decided to run Wolves Summit 12th Edition (Oct 5-7) as a hybrid event. It’s not an easy task, but together with our partners and advisors, we are rising to meet this moment with ingenuity and focus. 

We want people to be able to take part regardless of where they are in the world and to reach the global tech community at a click of their fingertips. 

At Wolves Summit we foster deep and productive collaboration between entrepreneurs and companies invested in creating real, positive value in the world.

We put this principle to work every edition helping hundreds of startups, investors, and business leaders scale their companies across markets and industries. 

In the upcoming weeks, we will be working to issue a strictly limited number of exclusive passes for attendees to access the in-person event at the Palace of Culture in Warsaw, as well as evening networking events culminating with a gala dinner held on the 7th October. 

Why should you attend?

  • Proven match-making processes shortening the investment process for both founders and investors
  • Reduce the cost and time of building new relationships by networking across the Wolves Summit community of investors, business leaders and entrepreneurs
  • Fastest way to find out about the latest innovations, solutions, and products that are relevant for you
  • Showcase your solution in front of 15,000+ people globally and choose to target the audience most relevant to you via dedicated side-events
  • Learn how other businesses are coping post-COVID

Most startups and scaleups are dependent on risk capital to fund their growth and are anxious about access to capital due to COVID-19. In our efforts to support small businesses, every startup founder will be able to join the summit and apply for a chance to be part of the Great Pitching Contest free of charge.

As we are looking ahead to the “new normal” we are asking entrepreneurs and business leaders to consider their company’s role in people’s lives and society. What could this moment mean for you and how can you begin to turn uncertainty to your advantage?

Join innovative entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders on 5-7 October 2020 to continue the conversation about how we can influence positive change and thrive during times of adversity.

Register you interest here


Looking forward to seeing you there!

Mike Chaffe

Vice-President, Wolves Summit
