WHAT ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT DTM
WHAT ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT DTM
We had difficulties reaching top European VCs, but attending DTM was a game-changer. We secured term sheets from two top European VCs. The round was totally oversubscribed, and we doubled our round size, securing a substantially higher valuation than initially targeted.
Amir Ghadimi
CEO | Lightium
Events like DTM are too few in number. The energy, enthusiasm and “can do” spirit was palpable. I met some incredible people and have now connected with VCs I would never have had the opportunity to meet.
