There are not 3 — there are 1,000. And then they taught us every single one. DTM would not be where it is today without EVG. They gave us the architecture to run curated innovation marketplaces and precision matchmaking at a globally best-practice level — and that is what enables us to operate Europe's #1 Deep Tech and AI Innovation Marketplace, driving massive commercial outcomes for founders, investors, and enterprise buyers.
Martin Schilling
Founder at Deep Tech Momentum, Entrepreneur
When I approached EVG as part of our fundraising process, what struck me was the quality of the room. The members I engaged with asked the right questions. Strategically sharp, direct, and genuinely curious about the business rather than going through the motions. For founders raising capital, that kind of engagement is invaluable. A serious investor community that does its homework properly, even if a deal doesn’t ultimately come together, is one worth knowing. The conversations I had through EVG were substantive, and the people involved clearly understood what it takes to build something.
If you’re a founder looking for smart capital and honest dialogue, EVG is worth your time.

EVG has an exceptional caliber of operators. Building an event business is complicated, and having access to people who've actually done it is incredibly valuable. The conversations I've had through EVG have helped me think through important decisions as I build Wellist.

If you are building anything in the events space, EVG is the ideal group to get in front of to validate your startup and help you grow.
