A strong product alone won’t close your round. Because investors don’t buy features. They buy the team, the market, the founder’s ambition, and a business model that scales. Every investor has their own decision-making logic — and if a founder ignores it, the deal dies long before due diligence even starts.
On September 9, Diia.City United is bringing together C-level executives of tech companies, founders of promising startups, private investors, business angels, and leaders of venture funds and international financial institutions for FutureTech Meetup: Invest Day.
What’s on the agenda?
The investment cycle — the full 360°
From the decision to raise capital and the first investor contact, all the way to running the company after the deal closes — this autumn’s meetup from the Union walks through the whole journey with you.
We’ll look at every stage from two angles: what the founder shows, and what the investor actually sees. Over the course of the evening, we’ll align the logic, the language, and the expectations of both sides — the people who create value, and the people who fuel it.
No fluff — just working playbooks
We’re bringing together expertise from the market’s leading players so Ukrainian entrepreneurs walk away with a clear framework: how to prepare for fundraising, which mistakes kill deals, and how to see your own product through the eyes of the person deciding whether to fund it.
The evening wraps up with informal networking, where the investment conversation continues over a drink — no moderators required.
The agenda and first speakers will be announced soon.
Who’s it for
We welcome C-level executives of tech companies, startup founders (from Pre-seed to Series A+), private investors and business angels, leaders of venture and investment funds (VC/PE), government representatives, embassies of partner countries, and industry media and business associations.
