Pitching to investors is a marathon, not a sprint, and Sebastian Gabor certainly understands this well. 😏 As the co-founder & CEO of Digitail, Sebastian and his team raised over $11 million, propelling the startup to a valuation of $50 million. While Digitail originated 📍in Iasi, its footprint now extends across several 🌐international markets, including the USA, making Sebastian's insights invaluable to the aspiring founders in our #RubikGarage 🚀accelerator. During his workshop, Sebastian emphasized 🔎 the importance of focusing on 📊 numbers, tailoring the pitch to specific 💼 investors, and presenting a vision of a ✨ successful future.
