Bits & Pretzels Lisbon | Chief Table Officers

17:00Lisboa

One evening. Five tables. Real conversations. We're introducing Chief Table Officers — a format built for founders who want real answers, not another panel. Five Captains. Each one a founder, operator, or investor with deep expertise in a specific topic. You get 30 minutes at one table, then 30 minutes at another — in an intimate group setting where you can speak openly, ask the hard questions, and get the guidance that actually moves the needle. This is not a presentation. Your Captain is not pitching. They are there for you — to share what they know, based on where you are right now. The Tables: Corporates × Startups: Learning from Each Other International Expansion Fundraising & Venture Capital Building & Scaling a Company Future of Innovation & Emerging Technologies Before the event, you'll receive a short profile of each Captain so you can choose the two tables that fit your current challenges best. Hosted by Bits & Pretzels Lisbon, at the Cloudflare Office in Lisbon. Spots are limited. Apply to join.
