Hey Univators,

Reflect Festival is back, and I can’t wait for the upcoming event on May 30-31, 2024, at the Kolla Factory in Limassol, Cyprus. After my transformative experience last September, I’m excited to share why you shouldn’t miss it.

The Thrill of Reflect 2023

Last September, Reflect Festival was a game-changer for me. Stepping into Limassol’s vibrant scene, I quickly found myself in conversations with industry giants. One unforgettable moment was meeting Ankur Nagpal, the founder of Teachable, who shared how he sold his company for $250 million. His journey was inspiring and filled with invaluable lessons for any entrepreneur.

Meeting Visionaries and Making Deals

I also had the pleasure of listening to Derek Sivers, a bestselling author of entrepreneurship and philosophy books. His unique perspectives on business and life left a lasting impact on me. Equally inspiring was Ida Tin, Co-founder, and former CEO of Clue, one of the most trusted female health apps. Her talk about building a company that impacts millions of women worldwide was both motivational and eye-opening.

Building Bridges with Academia

But the true magic of Reflect was in the connections I made. I met over 100 investors and connected with more than 200 startups. Networking with these brilliant minds led to discussions about future collaborations. I also built meaningful relationships with professors and mentors from Cypriot universities. Connecting with George Georghiou from the University of Cyprus was particularly rewarding, opening doors to collaborative projects that are now driving innovation at Univation.

Why You Can’t Miss Reflect 2024

Reflect Festival 2024 promises even more excitement. Here’s why you should be there:

• Industry Leaders: Hear from Elizabeth Yin, Co-founder and General Partner at Hustle Fund, and Tony Jamous, CEO of Oyster. Their insights into startup funding and future tech trends will be invaluable.

• Academic Connections: Engage with top professors and mentors, like those from the University of Cyprus, who can open doors to new collaborations and innovations.
