Feb/March         International Office Hours 2.0

Global Tech Connect is delighted to be a supporting partner for International Office Hours 2.0, an initiative of Blue Lake VC.

The goal is simple - to link early-stage foreign founded startups in or on their way to the UK and the leading investors within the local ecosystem. This is NOT a pitching programme. The idea is to help founders to build new connections, obtain feedback, ask questions and start building relationships. Participating VC include Playfair Capital, Octopus Ventures, Local Global, Founders Factory and many more.

Contact Global Tech Connect for further details.
