Two people who keep the standard of the competition.
Founder & CEO of FOREO, a global beauty and wellness brand sold in more than 75 countries. He judges a pitch the way he builds a product: on whether people will pay for it.
A diplomat who built bridges with Washington, today a mentor and investor helping founders open the American market.

Tech week is also Lisbon: the old town, the viewpoints, the food and the nights. Come a day early and see the city before the summit opens.
Fado in the evening, tram 28 by day. The oldest quarter of the city, a short ride from KAIS.
Senhora do Monte, Graça, São Pedro de Alcântara: three viewpoints, one afternoon.
Bars, ginjinha in a chocolate cup and live music until late. End the night with a pastel de nata.
Every startup at the table records a one-minute pitch. It goes on our online feed before Lisbon, where anyone can watch and vote, and on 9 November startups pitch for 60 seconds, live on stage. Swipe the phone: these are real pitches, already on the feed.
