Since we launched e27 Pro early this year, Connect is one of the most loved features by Pro members.
As the name implies, Connect helps Pro members build their network and connect directly via the e27 platform to investors for fundraising, partnership, and even mentorship opportunities. And allow us to flex a bit: e27 Pro launched with 300 investors who are actively looking for investment opportunities joining Connect, and is yielding a 91 per cent response rate for connections.
The good news is, we have been building upon that initial 300 investors and we’re happy to share this list of the ten latest investors to join Connect. Another good news? This is just the first one.
