Rookiess - Newgen Founders Are Fkin Killin’ It

Rookiess is back in Milan with three next-generation founders who have raised more than 16 million euro between them. No slides: they talk about how they got here, what fundraising taught them and the biggest mistakes they made on the way.

On stage: Enrico Nicosia of Computis, who with co-founders he met at Jet HR is making SME accounting simple by combining software, automation and service; Riccardo Russo of TextYess, which has just raised 4 million euro for an AI-driven B2C CRM; and Andrea Zorzetto of Cato, who went public about his first startup failing and now works on the public tenders market.

Thursday 19 November, 18:30-20:30, at WAO Isola. Free, limited places, attendance subject to approval.

Why go: three founders who closed real rounds recently, talking about fundraising and mistakes without slides to hide behind. Best for anyone about to raise or who has just started.
