✨ More than asking what you can do with Sibill as an SME, you should ask what you can't do. Sibill is one of the startups in our Investments portfolio, created by Mattia Montepara, Lorenzo Liguori, and Dario Prencipe and it acts like a "Swiss Army knife" for companies to seamlessly, quickly, and automatically manage their financial operations. To give you a better introduction to Sibill, we gave Mattia a call, and here’s what he had to say! 📞

We reached out to our last year’s competitor, NinjaLABO, to see how they’ve been doing since taking the plunge. Here’s what they shared about their experience: "Polar Bear Pitching stands out from other investor events with its unique and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the usual rushed environments, we had ample time to connect with investors in a welcoming, informal setting that made it easier to build meaningful relationships. The event’s global visibility is remarkable, attracting attention from around the world. Plus, pitching in the avanto (ice hole) isn’t just memorable — it’s also a proven boost for both mental and physical resilience! A truly refreshing experience in every sense." – Hiroshi Doyu, NinjaLabo "What's truly remarkable is that even more than six months after the event, people who saw us pitching at Polar Bear Pitching online still reach out to us in various settings. It really shows how globally recognized this event is, and we continue to feel its impact long after it's over.” – Kumiko Takimoto, NinjaLabo We couldn’t be happier to have been part of NinjaLabo’s journey, and we wish them all the success in their future endeavors! 💙 If you’re wondering if Polar Bear Pitching could help your startup, get ready to take the plunge — applications for startups are opening soon!
