Connecting the online and on-site worlds was a challenge that made the last edition of Wolves Summit extremely rewarding. We have an amazing Team, a pack of the brightest and the most supportive Volunteers, experienced Judges in the Great Pitch Contest, talented startups who, as we believe, would adapt to anything that can happen right now, virtual and in-person speakers. On the backstage, we had two video crews of magicians who made the experience possible for our online audience. We can't thank you all enough. Below you will see the full video recording from the keynotes, panel sessions as well as selected startup pitches took during the Wolves Summit 12, hosted on October 5-7 2020. 

We are only 10 days away from attending Wolves Summit and you start to wonder what is the best part of the event? Some are interested in getting acquainted with the latest technology trends. Others have the compelling stage content on top of their list. However, for the majority, connecting with an investor is the main goal. We have over 100 VCs joining this year to meet with startups. The vetting process is extremely important and this year we released only a limited number of in-person startup passes. Investors want to return to their HQ with promising prospects to invest in, so the pressure is on to make sure the companies are of a high enough standard. The list of investors is adding up every day, but for today, here are our top ten investors we can't wait to see at this year's conference. So let us introduce them.

Are you at the edge of your seat? Because we definitely are. In the last few months we have been preparing an agenda full of world-class speakers, drawn from a range of backgrounds and professional disciplines. We’re buzzing to be sharing with you our top 10 speakers that will make it to the upcoming edition and which you definitely don’t want to miss.

The last few months have pushed fundamental questions about the way our society operates at the forefront of discussions. As we are looking ahead to the “new normal”, we started to think about how we move from business as usual to future business.  We wanted to round up some opinions about how the pandemic might change how we think about various aspects of life and work. In this article, our community partner HubHub shares their experience of managing a co-working space in the midst of a global pandemic and what the future holds for workspaces. 

Warsaw, September 1st, 2020 -  Wolves Summit today announced the upcoming edition will run both online and in-person in Warsaw enabling startups, investors, and executives to take part regardless of where they are in the world and to reach the global tech community at a click of their fingertips. Taking place between October 5th and 7th, Wolves Summit’s mission is to connect angel investors, VC funds, tech talent, and corporations with the most promising startups in the CEE region to help ambitious founders scale and foster international economic growth. This October we’re peeling back the silicon curtain across Central & Eastern Europe. In recent years the exceptional founders of CEE have firmly made their mark on the global stage; we’re honoured to leverage Wolves Summit as the bridge between CEE’s tech talent and the international investment community, comments Mike Chaffe, Vice-President of Wolves Summit. 

And there we have it - our third monthly online Pitching Contest has joined the history books. Within 1 day we hosted 3 stages where 104 (!) Startups pitched their innovative projects and ideas whilst being assessed by 40 Judges.  Needless to say how challenging this project was for us, but at the same time how inspired, grateful and motivated we felt to have such a supportive community of startups, investors and entrepreneurs that took part in this one-of-a-kind online experience. You are one of the Wolfpack! 🐺 The Main Award from AI Startup Incubator - an opportunity to pitch directly in front of AI Startup Incubator's investment board committee with a chance to get €50k funding - went to Eyeware! FertereX , on the other hand, received a Special MedTech Award from the EIT Health.  Below you will see the full video recording from all the pitches that were hosted online on 25th June 2020. Enjoy!

100 Wolves Pitching Contest May edition is behind us!   Inspiring discussions during panel sessions and round tables, workshops, keynotes and of course, the Pitching Contest, ruled the online startup scene last Thursday. We would like to thank you all for your active participation and engagement while networking virtually with us.   Last month's Pitching Contest gathered almost 50 startups across two stages, fighting for the amazing awards provided by our Partners: Startupbootcamp, AngelHub, WHub and South Summit.
