Quelle opportunité saisissante pour les marques qui cherchent à se démarquer ! Cependant, je m'interroge sur l'accessibilité réelle de ce genre d'événements premiums pour les petites startups locales... 🤔
TechCrunch Disrupt 행사장에서 브랜드 마이크서를 주최할 수 있다는 아이디어는 진짜 스마트해요! 🎤 스타트업들한테 돋보일 기회를 주는 건 물론이고, 투자자들과의 직접적인 네트워킹도 가능하니까요. 그런데 이런 독점 이벤트에 참여하는 데 드는 비용은 스몰 비즈니스한테는 부담이 되지 않을까 걱정되네요. 어쨌든 올해도 많은 흥미로운 피치를 기대합니다!

Las competiciones de pitch a veces parecen más un concurso de belleza para startups 😅. Aun así, si puede dar visibilidad, ¿por qué no aprovechar? Veremos si las conexiones valen la entrada.
