Forum battles nightmares of tech startups
Backed by the Mana Tech hub, Startup Nightmare Miami returned for its second edition dedicated to championing bold ideas and emerging talent in Miami's thriving tech scene last week and invited entrepreneurs and innovators to confront their fears, share their stories, and learn from industry leaders.
Over 100 founders, venture capitalists, media, and experts from the B2B startup world were on hand to share experiences, forge connections with key players, and shape the tech scene together, said Guillermo Gonzalez Aleman, the co-founder of Startup Nightmare and CEO of Litebox.
Startup Nightmare Miami's key goals are to foster and grow a supportive community where entrepreneurs can face challenges head-on, he added. The event also featured panel discussions, pitch sessions, and networking opportunities designed to inspire attendees to overcome obstacles and turn visions into reality.
Speakers included Henry Woodman, entrepreneur; Katy Carrigan, CEO of Goody; and Rodrigo Bernardinelli, CEO of Digibee.
As Startup Nightmare Miami continues to grow, it is poised to become a staple for South Florida-based founders, offering invaluable opportunities for startups to connect with investors and mentors in this thriving business hub, Mr. Gonzalez Aleman said. With a focus on transparency, connection, and learning, the event supports a thriving tech community by fostering an environment where founders and investors alike can gain insights from each other's experiences, he said.
"Startup Nightmare Miami is a movement that empowers entrepreneurs within our community," he said. "By confronting fears, sharing setbacks, and openly discussing the realities of entrepreneurship, we fostered a community of resilience and connection through shared experience. We are deeply committed to building an environment where founders can learn, connect, and thrive."
