WHY ATTEND #LIS 18?

We’re Europe’s surprisingly informal and slightly unexpected startup conference. We bring together seasoned investors, daring entrepreneurs and innovative executives for a 2 day casual, sunny and action-packed event.
Our favorite motto is #nobullshit.
That pretty much sums up what you can expect from us.
