Startups and investments have been part of the Silicon

Valley DNA for several decades. A unique combination of

enabling factors have made this the leading hub for innova-

tion in the world. It’s certainly not a coincidence that Silicon

Valley is setting the standards for early stage startup

investment. If you aim to become a top-notch investor - you

can’t avoid investing a week of your time here.

MTB Investor Program includes meetings with some of

Silicon Valley’s top investors, building relationships for possi-

ble cross-border co-investment opportunities. For real field

experience, during the week we meet a sample of our deal

flow of actual startups raising funds.
