TalkBBQ is back!
We decided to bring back a successful concept of TalkBBQ events from 2019, where we will focus on exploring sizzling trends and topics.
This event took place on the 2nd of June 2022, and we hosted a panel discussion focused on the theme of Mind the Gap: are salaries posing a problem for startups and the ecosystem?
We kicked off the event with a welcome drink - courtesy of Mikkeller, followed by an exciting panel discussion and questions from the audience.
TalkBBQ was a valuable opportunity to network with local entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem players, while also enjoying chilled drinks and tasty tapas!
This event was hosted by TechBBQ in collaboration with our event partner People Ventures and a community partner, Pavillion. TalkBBQ will be a snack-size preview of our annual September conference, TechBBQ 2022.

Speaker Panel
During our panel discussion, we discussed the important, yet somewhat taboo topic, of "Mind the Gap: are salaries posing a problem for startups and the ecosystem?"
Our panel discussed the salary gap between early-stage and scaleups; the issue of fixed income vs. warrants; and how increasing salaries in young companies impact the ecosystem.
