From June 3 to 9, 2024, Geesesquads spent the week in Vienna at ViennaUP 2024, the city’s startup festival. With clients in Austria and Spain, we see events like these as the best way to stay close to the founders and decision-makers we build for.
A city-wide startup festival
Initiated by the Vienna Business Agency and run with more than 35 programme partners, ViennaUP turns the whole city into a meeting point for founders, investors, corporates and tech leaders from across Europe and beyond. The 2024 edition put a strong focus on artificial intelligence, alongside pitch sessions, hackathons and workshops, the Austrian final of the Start-up World Cup and Connect Day, a matchmaking event with more than 1,000 participants.
What we took home
- Speed to market decides who wins. Founders want to validate ideas in weeks, not spend months building before they learn anything.
- Investors back traction, not slide decks. A working product in real users’ hands opens doors faster than any pitch.
- Cross-border trust is earned through clear communication and senior people who own the outcome.
Where Geesesquads fits
As your reliable IT partner in India, we bridge the gap between ideas and reality for startups. We help founders turn an idea into a working MVP, and then build their own tech squad in India to grow it, with experienced product managers keeping every release aligned with the business. Founders stay focused on customers and investors while we handle the technology.
That model works over the long term: since 2022, a European digital agency has relied on our dedicated engineering team in India.
