Vai loves Austria ๐ฆ๐น And we loved being back!
Great to return to IMC Krems University of Applied Sciences for another Guest Talk session with a fresh group of ambitious, curious future founders.
A big thank you to Dr. Lidija Lalicic for having us again... It's always a pleasure to be part of such an inspiring environment.
What stood out most wasnโt just the ideas, it was the ambition to build.
But also a reality we discussed openly:
๐ช๐บ In Europe, itโs often not talent or more money thatโs missing โ itโs speed.
โก Speed of access. Speed of connection. Speed of decision-making.

Thatโs where we see the gap and the opportunity.
At Vai, weโre building to reduce friction in how founders connect with investors, institutions, and the broader ecosystem, so the right people meet faster, and opportunities donโt get lost in the noise.
And just as important:
