about this room
Rookiess is back in Milan with three next-generation founders who have raised more than 16 million euro between them. No slides: they talk about how they got here, what fundraising taught them and the biggest mistakes they made on the way.
On stage: Enrico Nicosia of Computis, who with co-founders he met at Jet HR is making SME accounting simple by combining software, automation and service; Riccardo Russo of TextYess, which has just raised 4 million euro for an AI-driven B2C CRM; and Andrea Zorzetto of Cato, who went public about his first startup failing and now works on the public tenders market.
Thursday 19 November, 18:30-20:30, at WAO Isola. Free, limited places, attendance subject to approval.
three founders who closed real rounds recently, talking about fundraising and mistakes without slides to hide behind. Best for anyone about to raise or who has just started.
