RECAP: CzechMatch with CzechInvest, October 2018

From October 15 to 18 of 2018, the VENTUREOUT team powered our first edition of the CzechMatch program. Designed in partnership with CzechInvest, the CzechMatch program is an intense program designed for Czech startups that are planning on expanding into the United States.

The startups:

e-jobin

Eventee

Incinity

Riocath

e-jobin

Although 9 out of 10 CEOs name hiring talent as the single most critical decision, most companies are losing big on hiring wrong candidates. e-jobin has been built so that these decisions are based on data and to bring more clarity and effectivity into the hiring process.

e-jobin is a psychodiagnostic tool, which enables employees to run effective talent selection assessments in the online, easily accessible environment.

It moves the company hiring practices to the next level, showing job applicants that your company already incorporated modern tools across the board and open up the way toward employee motivation and engagement.

Eventee

A mobile app that everyone will fall in love with. Eventee has been developed with attention to high quality and speed. Our application is fully native, not a slow and inexpensive web application that looks like a mobile application. We placed great emphasis on simple and intuitive controls during design and development, yet Eventee has advanced features too.

VentureOut is proud to have had the opportunity to organize this first CzechMatch program on behalf of our partner CzechInvest. We run multiple programs a year on behalf of CzechInvest, accelerating Czech startups at different maturity stages, but all willing to expand to the US market.

A One-Week matchmaking Program:

CzechMatch is all about meetings with potential investors and business partners: finding the right people to meet with, but also helping the start-ups prepare for presentations and meetings.

The program actually starts with a long preparation phase during which the VentureOut team gets to discuss with all the companies and assess their needs, as well as understand the types of meetings each company is looking for.

Then comes the dense week in NYC: the program is a mix of group activities, one-to-one mentoring sessions, business meetings, and pitching opportunities.

The Pitch Night

The pitch night is by far the highlight of the week. It is a night filled with great presentations from the startups, networking, and refreshments. The startups have two minutes to pitch their company which then follows insights from an all-star panel of investors. It is a night that cannot be missed and one to remember for both the audience and participants.
