Vial recently participated in a Founder Retreat event organized by Swiss EP, a funded Swiss government agency that supports Balkan startups. The founder retreat event, held in Durres, Albania, brought together six experts in fundraising and marketing strategy for two days of workshops and networking opportunities.
Vial’s team had the chance to network with other startups and receive personalized advice from the experts on how to refine their business model, pitch to potential investors, and develop a strong branding and marketing strategy. The event had six experts who provided advice on fundraising and marketing strategy. Some of the experts who were present included a venture capitalist, a marketing consultant, and a branding expert.
One of the key takeaways from the founder retreat event was the importance of creating a strong pitch deck to showcase Vial’s business model and growth potential to potential investors. The experts also emphasized the need to build relationships with investors and to focus on the long-term benefits of these relationships, rather than just short-term gains. Vial’s founders will apply this advice to their own fundraising efforts by refining their pitch deck and building relationships with investors.
Another important takeaway from the founder retreat event was the importance of understanding Vial’s target market and tailoring their marketing efforts to meet the specific needs and preferences of this market. The experts also stressed the need for Vial to establish a strong brand identity that reflects the company’s values and mission. Vial’s founders will apply this advice by conducting market research to better understand their target market and by refining their branding and marketing strategies to better resonate with their audience.
Vial’s participation in the founder retreat event organized by Swiss EP was a valuable experience that provided key insights and connections in the areas of fundraising and marketing strategy. Vial is grateful to have been selected among other promising startups and has shown great potential for future growth and success. The personalized advice from experts and the networking opportunities at the retreat have equipped Vial’s team with the tools they need to take their business to the next level and make a positive impact on the region. Vial is thankful to Swiss EP for organizing this impactful event and looks forward to applying the lessons learned to their future endeavors.
