We reached out to our last year’s competitor, NinjaLABO, to see how they’ve been doing since taking the plunge. Here’s what they shared about their experience: "Polar Bear Pitching stands out from other investor events with its unique and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the usual rushed environments, we had ample time to connect with investors in a welcoming, informal setting that made it easier to build meaningful relationships. The event’s global visibility is remarkable, attracting attention from around the world. Plus, pitching in the avanto (ice hole) isn’t just memorable — it’s also a proven boost for both mental and physical resilience! A truly refreshing experience in every sense." – Hiroshi Doyu, NinjaLabo "What's truly remarkable is that even more than six months after the event, people who saw us pitching at Polar Bear Pitching online still reach out to us in various settings. It really shows how globally recognized this event is, and we continue to feel its impact long after it's over.” – Kumiko Takimoto, NinjaLabo We couldn’t be happier to have been part of NinjaLabo’s journey, and we wish them all the success in their future endeavors! 💙 If you’re wondering if Polar Bear Pitching could help your startup, get ready to take the plunge — applications for startups are opening soon!

F*ck it, Ghent Slush'D was awesome "I don't really feel like going" Was my first thought, thinking back to all those events that feel like a maze of corporate booths and overwhelming chaos. Ghent Slush'd was something different, so props to them. Here's what other events can learn from them: 1. The atmosphere was fun, airy, and friendly - not your typical corporate vibe. 2. Well-designed spaces included resting areas and fun activities, making networking feel natural. 3. A unique reverse pitching session where VCs pitched to startups - now that's a twist! 4. An efficient app for matching and meeting people - no more awkward small talk. 5. The event space was divided into different areas, creating a cozy feeling. 6. Startup pitching competition (featuring Noémie Bultot, who did a damn great job at presenting Jay) The real magic? Their laser focus on their niche. Instead of trying to cover everything from AI to HR, they niched down on startups and investors. And it worked brilliantly. The result? An event where you actually feel like you're there for a reason, not just another face in the crowd. Big thumbs up to their awesome team 👏
