Startup Kafe, the convivial pitching and networking event organised by SKEMA Ventures for our entrepreneurs, is back! We invite students and alumni to attend it for testing their business idea and finding support to take it further. It will be held online for the Lille, Paris and Sophia Antipolis campuses on February 8 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and for the Raleigh campus on February 17 from 6pm to 8.30pm.

Students with an entrepreneurial mindset are welcome to listen to the pitches. Special safety measures have been put in place due to COVID-19. Startup Kafe will be organised online.

About Startup Kafe

At the Startup Kafe, you can share your concept with other students, alumni, and entrepreneurs from The Venture Family via a two-minute “elevator pitch” and obtain feedback and inspiration to develop it further. This is a good opportunity for you to explore your idea in a friendly, informal environment. Students from SKEMA’s partner schools also attend the event, which gives everyone the opportunity to network. Successful SKEMA alumni entrepreneurs will share their experience with the participants.
