American investors are increasingly looking at European technology companies not only because of the lower valuations, but also because of the abilities of the local founders. European investors are attracted by the large American market and an attractive startup environment. The Transatlantic Startup Pitch event aims to connect the two markets. European DEPO Angels and Californian Bay Angels are holding this event for the fifth time. Partners of prestigious venture capital funds like Bill Reichert from Pegasus Tech Ventures and Gerald Pollak from 3VC and others will be featured as panelists during the event. Shawn Flynn, the host of the podcast The Silicon Valley Podcast, will be moderating the two-hour event.

Attendees can look forward to a panel discussion of four experts from the startup world. In addition to Pegasus Tech Ventures partner Bill Reichert, 3VC partner Gerald Pollak, startup coach Sam Wong and Petr Šíma from DEPO Angels will also take part. Topics will include biggest mistakes, trends, and opportunities in finding an investor in the early stages of startup. This will be followed by pitches by ten technology companies from America and Europe and questions from panelists. The prestigious intercontinental event will take place on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at 6pm CET on the Zoom platform.

"We are excited to welcome names like Bill Reichert or Gerald Pollak at Transatlantic Startup Pitch. Bill has been interested in Europe for some time. He is one of the main promoters of the largest venture capital competition, the Startup World Cup, which also takes place here in Prague. As a 3VC partner, Gerald represents one of the few larger funds that is not afraid to invest in early startups and supports our region. I believe that they will be a great inspiration for other investors," says DEPO Ventures partner Petr Šíma.

DEPO Angels regularly organizes similar events, where investors can meet startups. Many have gained publicity, business contacts or funding from angel investors and funds. These include Bikefair, Zenoo, Beem, Augmented Robotics, Equiradar, Pulselive and Smartguide.
