Residents, which took part in the Slush forum, were able to work out at the on-site pitches, create their video presentations in English, as well as to see how their colleagues deal with international investors.
Maxim Uvarov, director of the "Health" project of the Foundation commented that "Some residents were for the first time at international events of this level and were even a bit shy at first. And they had a chance of seeing other presentations, which made their foreign colleagues, to see what kind of information is better to communicate to investors to look interesting fro them. Some startups have found partners, and might continue discussion on future cooperation, including with venture capital funds."
