OUR GUESTS LOVED IT
ALEX CEBOTARI
Founder, AVO • Moldova
TechVillage was one of the most unusual and the coolest startup event I ever attended. The most I liked is that investors/mentors were treated somehow in the same way as startups guys, which broke the ice at the beginning and allowed more close interaction with them during the upcoming days. And of course, the event place was incredible.
ALEXANDRU DEREAVENCO
Founder, nemo.ai • Moldova
The very unusual setting of a pittoresque village felt more like a getaway from the daily routine, and helped focus solely on talking to the fellow attendees about all things business development, idea validation and potential investment opportunities. I highly recommend attending if you have the opportunity.
EGILS BOITMANIS
Investor, Board Infinitum 8 • Latvia
TechVillage was a fun, cultural, educational event for startups and Investors. Somehow we tend to think that we need separate events for wine, travel, relax, work, networking... TechVillage managed to combine these all in one beautiful event! Multi-purpose event done RIGHT!
THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IS LIMITED
We booked the whole village. The number of accommodation facilities allows us to host 100 people, that is why we are quite picky with our guests. Before you buy the ticket, we kindly ask you to fill in a form and we will contact you back very soon.
Are you interested in sponsoring our event? Please drop us a line. If you and/or your organization is involved in the startup scene, and also passionate about preserving the rural heritage in Moldova, you are the perfect candidate.
