Please note that the pre-launch seminar, “Angel Investing & Venture Capital Playbook,” has been moved to May 20 due to a scheduling conflict with the Seton Hall University Graduation Ceremony taking place on May 18. The seminar will be held live at 12:00 PM (EST) / 7:00 PM Cyprus time. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to seeing you there. Warm regards, Professor Drou
