Tech Tour is one of the few events you can't and don't want to miss. You will expand your VC network and company contacts just as fast as you would be airboarding head down a Swiss hill.

I had some doubts when I was asked to sponsor the Techtour. But at the end it turned out to be a great investment. I met interesting investors, I had the chance to get to know excellent entrepreneurs and we all had a lot of fun beyond business talks.

DACH TT was my second tech tour, and it was yet another opportunity to conclude that this is an event not to miss, should you be interested in European Venture Capital. The format of the tour makes it an excellent networking event for VCs, but the list of delegates turns the event into a Klondike for entrepreneurs, who are seeking VC financing.

The DACH Tech Tour 2011 was a tremendous success for IPTEGO, as we could connect to many interesting and important people, mostly investment managers but also C-levels from other presenting companies.

A very energizing Tech Tour! A unique opportunity to meet all the start-up' ecosystem with the entrepreneurs, business angels, venture capital funds...one regret, we were missing the women delegates!

Tech Tour is an unique event that consistently delivers the most value for money in it's sort. The DACH TT 2011 was again of high quality. In 48 hours of almost constant activity I build a very solid basis of a local network and a nice list of company prospects to invest in. Thanks to all organizers and participants to make this Tech Tour happen.

- Roel de Hoop, Prime Ventures, Partner, The Netherlands
