The time has come… for the fourth Split Startups Meetup in collaboration with our friends from the hardworking Student Business Incubator. After the first three editions in February, May, and the pre-program edition during the Split Tech City Festival in September, we decided to wrap this year up with this event.

And right off the bat – an interesting change: the fourth edition of Split Startups Meetup has a sponsor! Therefore, we have to thank the wonderful SeekandHit team for deciding to support us by providing a space to host this meetup, as well as drinks for the participants.

This particular collaboration came about as a result of the first edition of Split Startups Meetup when Mario Frančešević, founder and CEO of SeekandHit, was one of the panelists of the panel titled “Leaving Croatia without leaving Croatia”.

He liked the meetup enough to offer his support and – here we are! Now, that’s what we call the magic of networking and coming together as a community!

So, thank you very much Mario and SeekandHit! 😀

Now, how about some basic information regarding this particular edition of Split Startups Meetup?

We will all get together at the SeekandHit offices (Put Brodarice 6) next Tuesday, December 12, at 19:00. You can sign up to attend by filling out this form.

And what about the program? Well, we decided to make it both useful and interesting, as per usual. The recipe for this edition looks like this:

  • mix an engaging panel discussion
  • add a sparkling fireside chat
  • sprinkle some magic with a startup-themed Christmas raffle
  • add a finishing glaze of always-fabulous networking

You up for it?! We do hope so! 😉

The topic of the panel discussion is business storytelling in short.

If you want a longer explanation… well, during many startup competitions, we noticed some issues with startups struggling to pitch their ideas. We decided to give you a helping hand regarding these pitching problems with this particular panel titled: Tell Me a Tale of What You Do!

The panel will be moderated by our much-adored Split Startups Meetup host Michael Freer and will host the following experts in the field of telling a good story:

  • Pinija Poljaković – founder of Art Media; media and public speaking trainer; MC and event moderator; speaker and podcast host
  • Mirjana Svaguša – founder of The Storyteller Croatia; sustainable travel expert; regenerative tourism advocate; heritage interpreter and passionate storyteller; Break Fellow 2023
  • Dijana Zorić – co-founder of StoryLab; expert in storytelling and external communication; mentor and full-time lecturer at the Experta College of Business for the Business Storytelling course; licensed tourist guide

This will be followed by a fireside chat that will eliminate all your pains, troubles, and fears related to taxes and accounting.

Led by our host Michael, this fireside chat – aptly named Accounting and Taxes Without Pain and Suffering – will have an expert in this particular field who will be answering some important questions related to taxes and accounting with a focus on startups and small businesses.

Our chosen expert for this particular task is Zoja Stevović, co-founder of Kancelarija and part of its wonderful team.

The ladies from Kancelarija sure know how to work that tax and accounting magicwe even highlighted that fact recently! So we have no doubts about Zoja’s abilities to help untangle the tax and accounting tangles startups teams might struggle with during her fireside chat with Michael.

Fired up for this edition of Split Startups Meetup?!?! You should be! 😉

An additional bonus of this edition is the previously mentioned startup-themed Christmas raffle. As any good Santa Claus does, we’ll keep the present(s) a secret until the raffle is completed. All you need to know is that – if you wish to get a Christmas gift – sign up your startup in the sign-up form.

And show up! Because only startups present at the meetup will get to meet Santa. 😉

So, sign up and see you all at SeekandHit offices next Tuesday, December 12, at 19:00! Don’t miss it! 😀
