The medianet Investors' Dinner
Traditionally, the INVESTORS' DINNER of our partner medianet berlinbrandenburg e.V. brings startups and investors together to open unique pitch opportunities. Instead of a stage presentation, startups deliver their pitches over an exquisite 3-course dinner at the table, where selected VCs and business angels sit directly across from them. The dinner event thus enables valuable contacts to be made in an exclusive atmosphere.
