The Startup Club

It all started our under the name Milan Entrepreneurship Network - a series of pitching events - organized by our CEO Olga Kuznietsova in Italy. A connection to our CFO Oliver Doering and COO Bryan Emerson, both with years of experience in helping companies raise funding, allowed The Startup Club to form. Our global team now counts two Vice-Presidents, three Directors, ten Managers and six support staff across eleven countries, and constantly growing.

Through our investment-focused and pitching events, we help startups get through to funding opportunities, gain valuable advice and professional connections in the industry. First and foremost, our goal is to help startup in their development journeys, becoming a one-stop-shop for the global startup community.

Our signature event format is a Pitch Night. The event offers startups an opportunity to present in front of a panel of Advisors - investors and industry experts - who can provide entrepreneurs with valuable feedback and connect them to development or funding opportunities.
For startups that are actively raising the next round of capital and need to accelerate the funding process, our Investor Networking Conferences present a unique opportunity of connecting directly to a large group investors. However, it is not only about the pitch - we provide startups with tools to prepare and follow up with investors that will maximise their chances for success.
Previously hosting in-person events, we have fully switched to online in the past months, creating a new value added for our members - connecting entrepreneurs and investors internationally.
