First Web Summit Memory: Learning to Pitch Myself and My Startup
Web Summit wrapped up more than a week ago, so it is time to share some memories. These will be short notes in random order.

That was one of the most insightful hours I have ever had. Now you can confidently ask me: 'Hey, Roma, tell me about yourself and your business,' and I will actually be able to do it.
Fun fact: according to the six degrees of separation theory, after Web Summit 2024 there are now only two, or maybe even just one handshake between me and Barack Obama. :)
