🚀 3 Days to Go: The Ultimate Showdown – VC Speed Dating VS GOI Matchmaking! 🚀 Not all networking formats are created equal - specially for AI startups. While VC Speed Dating and GOI Matchmaking may seem similar, their impact and purpose are fundamentally different. 💰 VC Speed Dating is about securing funding. Startups meet multiple VCs in quick rounds, pitching their vision in hopes of raising capital. While this can help fuel growth, it doesn’t necessarily validate the product-market fit or create immediate business traction. 🚀 GOI Matchmaking, however, is about securing Go-To-Market (GTM) opportunities. Startups connect directly with enterprises that are actively looking for AI solutions, presenting real use cases and refining their GTM strategies. Instead of just meeting potential investors, startups engage with potential customers—opening doors to strategic partnerships, pilot projects, and revenue-driven collaborations. At GenAI Open Innovation, we bridge the gap between AI innovation and enterprise adoption. Because true success isn’t just about raising capital—it’s about solving real problems, driving impact, and scaling AI in the market. This event is hosted in collaboration with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) and Google Cloud, bringing together AI startups and enterprise leaders to foster real-world AI innovation. 🔊 GenAI Open Innovation is happening soon. 📅 April 10, 2025 | 🕒 2:45 PM – 6:00 PM (SGT) 📍 Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), Raffles City Tower 🔒 If you’ve secured your spot, don’t forget to mark your calendar! 👉 Be sure to follow our page to stay updated on future events and exclusive perks! #VCSpeedDating #GOIMatchmaking #Startups #Investors #Entrepreneurs #BusinessConnections #Partnerships
