Past Speakers

AT THE 2023 SUMMIT 

Global decision-makers, innovators, and industry leaders come to the Summit to provide unprecedented insight into the world of startup venture capital. Speakers are not paid for their stage appearance – passion and expertise are the only criteria. Attendees have become accustomed to being wowed by the content, inspired by the ideas, and surprised by the unexpected.
