Description

HOIV Founder Huddle 2026 is a focused, consultation-driven session designed for a curated group of startup teams who are actively building and looking for meaningful strategic input. As part of ViennaUP, the session enables a space where founders can openly discuss real challenges and receive practical, experience-driven feedback.

This is not a traditional demo day or pitch competition. Instead, it is a structured working session that blends elements of a workshop, meet-the-expert format, and moderated group discussion.

Selected startups will join experienced operators, investors, VCs, banks, and industry experts in a structured working format.
- It is an open setting designed for real conversation.
- The focus is on real topics that founders face every day — from market positioning and product direction to fundraising preparation, operational bottlenecks, team dynamics, and scaling decisions.
