WHAT PEOPLE SAY
As an investor based in the early phase fund Alliance Venture in Oslo, I have had the pleasure of being a partner with ITSA ever since November 2015! It must have been one of the first programs at all. Alliance and my mission have always been to contribute as a mentor to the companies, a critical and constructive audience to the pitches, hold presentations about our experiences as investors and, not least, participate in the jury. There have been 4 programs so far and after a GOOD start, the program has only gotten better! In addition, both Alliance and myself have made investments with Valide / ITSA as a direct and indirect consequence of the programs. Good! - Right? ”
