A three-day flow of structured sessions, shared meals, and informal moments designed to build meaningful relationships between founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders.
The first part of the day is intentionally open. Participants arrive in Chișinău, check in, take time to rest, to explore the city before the evening meetup.
A warm opening evening with founders, investors, and ecosystem voices - combining Moldova's startup story with local hospitality, regional wine, and the first connections.
Over an atmospheric breakfast, participants don't just share a meal - they share their background, expectations, and the first conversations that set the tone for the next two days.
The journey shifts the energy from city rhythm to scenic landscape. The group travels together and conversations continue naturally.
A warm Moldovan lunch that gives everyone time to arrive properly in Orheiul Vechi - to settle into the pace and continue early conversations around the table.
After a tasty lunch, the Investment Stage begins. This is where founders go deeper than the pitch, and investors start asking the questions that turn interest into substantive dialogue.
The day ends around fire, food, and wine - the kind of evening where conversations slow down, people relax, and connections start to feel more natural.
The day begins close to the venue, over coffee, breakfast, and the natural follow-ups from the evening before. A simple, unhurried start.
The second round of sessions brings more depth. Founders have space to explain what cannot fit into a short pitch, while investors can ask the questions that matter.
A shared table between session blocks. Lunch gives the room a more natural setting to continue a question or compare perspectives.
The afternoon brings another round of focused sessions, where founders and investors go deeper into the business, the ask and the GTM strategy.
An elevated evening of Moldovan food and wine, celebrating the conversations, people, and connections shaped throughout TechVillage.
A slow final morning for coffee, goodbyes, and some sightseeing.
A last chance to experience the landscape - cliffs, village roads, monastery views before returning to the city.
Participants pack, gather, and prepare for the return transfer.
The group travels back to the capital together. One last shared journey, with time to exchange contacts, continue conversations, or simply decompress after the event.
Note: The agenda will be refined as the event approaches. Confirmed participants will receive the final schedule, transfer details, and session allocations before arrival.
At the center of TechVillage is the Investment Stage: a dedicated 20-minute window for meaningful engagement. We replace the noise of the crowd with structured sessions where founders present with depth while investors analyze. No distractions, just high-intent dialogue.
TechVillage is built for what happens inside the sessions - and for everything that happens between them.
Some conversations happen on the way to dinner. Over coffee. During a walk. Sitting next to someone you did not plan to meet.
TechVillage leaves space for that to happen.
The rhythm is designed around three pillars.
Enough structure to make the time count.
Enough focus to keep the room relevant.
Enough space for the right conversations to continue naturally.
