Day 8 started very early! We had to leave the hotel at 7am to go to the first event. We went to the Orrick event: " The Fundraising Series (Part one) - Building your story". The event started with a breakfast and some networking, and then it was time for the presentations. There were four speakers at the event: the first one, Gleen McCrae from Early Growth Financial Services talked about creating your three year financial plan; then Noah Lichtenstein from Cowboy Ventures talked about constructing your competitive value proposition. The third presentation was Stephanie Palmeri from SoftTech VC, talking about understanding your competitive landscape and the last was Niko Bonatsos with Go-To-Market Strategy.

It was a good event in a beautiful location!

In the afternoon we had a meeting with Michael Golomb, he is a successful serial entrepreneur with MBA's from Santa Clara University and Stanford University. He now is CFO and head of the Amsterdam office of a Bitcoin company, BitFury. He is specialized in Finance & Strategy and he has a lot of great connections. The team introduced their projects to him and he gave some advice and tips.

After the meeting, some teams went to the Pier 39 to enjoy the view and some seafood. The next three days will be very busy! Meetings all day long all over the Valley!

Good night and see you tomorrow!
