Investors and industry leaders will gather in Monaco for the fifth edition of the K2MATCH Investor Lounge later this week, a three-part event where high-potential startups across AI, healthcare, travel, education and gaming will take to the stage and pitch to potential backers.
The K2MATCH Investor Lounge will take place at the Columbus Hotel Monte-Carlo in Fontvieille. Designed for budding entrepreneurs and those keen to support them in their endeavours, the event will provide a platform for investors to connect with high-potential startups in various industries through networking sessions, presentations and talks.
Founded by Alexandros Dohn and Badr Moudden, K2MATCH has been designed to facilitate connections between startups, scaleups and key industry players. This fifth edition of the event will be structured across three days, offering attendees multiple opportunities to connect in both formal and informal settings.
The main event on 6th March will kick off with a welcome drink at 6pm. The official programme, featuring a series of startup pitches and a Q&A session, will begin at 7pm. After the presentations, networking will continue over drinks and finger food.
Two satellite events will complement the main Investor Lounge. A pre-event networking session on 5th March at Bar des Artistes will allow investors and attendees to meet the participating startups ahead of the main event. Additionally, a post-event dinner and networking session on 7th March, also at Bar des Artistes, will provide a final opportunity for attendees to connect with startups and investors.
While the main Investor Lounge is free for investors, the pre-event and post-event gatherings require a participation fee of €90 and €120, respectively.
