Another sunny day in San Francisco!

Our meeting with Julian Zegelman was postponed to next week, so our first meeting was with Igor Shoifot, Board Director of Happy Farm. It was a very interesting workshop. He talked about different things and gave some useful tips.

Some advice he gave was about what kind of people to look for when you go to events. He says there are 3 kinds of people you should try to meet. First of all investors, but also potential partners and lastly people who can help you with your distribution channel. 

And his biggest advice was smile! It's ok to smile to a stranger :)

After the meeting with Igor, we went and prepared for the Dinner for Investors. We had a great dinner at McCormick and Kuleto's, a great restaurant with an amazing view over the Bay.

We were very happy to have some awesome guests joining us there for this event, among them Kaushal Chokshi from Cross Border Angels, Jim Smith from Mohr Dadivow Ventures, Victor Shaburov from Opera, Pavel Cherkashin from Vestor.in, along with some of the best Happy Farm supporters: Igor Shoifot, Sridhar Solur and Mike Sigal.

 

There was some music, great food and most important, the teams pitched and there was a lot of networking. Undoubtedly, a lot of interesting connections and referrals were made!

Overall this was a great evening and a good preparation for Demo Day tomorrow.

Tomorrow we are going to Mountain View for a workshop with Kaushal Chokshi and in the evening we have Demo Day together with legendary 500Startups!

See you tomorrow!

With love from the heart of innovations,
