We recently hosted our first-ever 3-day Founders' Meet, and it marked a huge milestone for us. What made it special wasn’t just the format – it was the energy, the openness, and the sense of community that formed between portfolio founders and a lineup of outstanding guest speakers.
At Silicon Gardens, we believe that investing in companies means investing in people. This event was built around that belief – three days of real conversations, tough questions, shared lessons, and genuine connections. The kind you simply can’t get from pitch decks or Zoom calls.
We’re deeply grateful to all 31 founders who trusted us with their time and showed up with honesty, curiosity, and ambition.
A huge thank-you also goes to our incredible speakers:
Jugoslav Petković, Roberto Kutić, Damir Sabol, Stefan Köppl, Satja Lumbar, and our very own portfolio founders Marius Iordache and Franci Zidar. Your insights and stories made the experience unforgettable.
Even the thick mountain fog couldn’t dampen the mood – it only helped everyone stay even more focused on what mattered inside. As one founder joked, "Startups are always in the cloud anyway."
We’re proud of what this event became – and even more excited for what’s ahead. This is just the beginning.
