The momentum of the event was set by a dynamic networking component, creating an environment for attendees to mingle, share ideas, and forge meaningful connections. This laid the foundation for an evening filled with knowledge sharing and empowerment.
The MINT Team took the stage to introduce their incubation program and shed light on their current cohort recruitment efforts. Their commitment to nurturing startups and fostering innovation resonated with the audience, setting the tone for what was to come.
Nick and Luis, the driving forces behind Founders Live, delivered an inspiring speech that encapsulated the essence of the organization. Their dedication to supporting emerging startups and fostering a sense of community was evident in their words, igniting a sense of purpose among the attendees.
