On June 16th, 2025, we opened the doors of our SEE UP offices in Belgrade to welcome over 120 remarkable guests for what became our biggest event to date – the second official SEE UP Demo Day. It was an evening defined by ambition, collaboration, and the shared belief that Southeast Europe is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s most vibrant startup ecosystems. Each time, our community shows us what’s possible when you combine great ideas with the right support. Each time: bigger, bolder, and better.

This Demo Day was much more than an event. It was a celebration of talent, innovation, and the collective drive to push our region forward. Investors, corporate leaders, ecosystem partners, scientific institutions, and some of the most respected VCs gathered together in one place, united around a single mission: to back exceptional founders who are building the companies of tomorrow

On stage, our SEE UP investment cohort showcased the progress they’ve made over the past months. We were proud to see P3T Therapeutics, represented by Miroslav Harjaček, sharing their vision for the future of precision medicine. ZenHire, led by Vladimir Bozovic, demonstrated how AI can revolutionize talent acquisition. Salute360, with Alberto Clemenzi, presented their digital health platform reshaping patient care, while Valyrion, represented by Lukas Dyhr, Gustav Hammer, and Magnus Spanheimer, inspired the audience with their innovative marketing solutions for fintech.

Through our collaboration with The Ventures, we were also thrilled to host four promising local startups who pitched their solutions to an audience of investors and partners: Curious Sparrow, Wetotw, Secretopus.AI, and ParKings. Each of these teams embodies the creativity and determination we want to champion through SEE UP.

Beyond the pitches, the evening featured a fantastic panel discussion moderated by Katarina Djulić, exploring the opportunities and challenges of investing in Southeast Europe. We’re deeply grateful to our distinguished panelists – Olga Kiendler, Sonja Cossutta, and Boris Vujičić – whose insights made this conversation both timely and inspiring.

Finally, none of this would be possible without the dedication and passion of our team. A huge thank you to Dušan Obradović, Teodora Pećanac, Ilija Veljković, and everyone who contributed behind the scenes to bring this Demo Day to life.

As we look ahead, we are more confident than ever that SEE UP is becoming the go-to launchpad for market-validated innovation in Southeast Europe. We can’t wait to see what the next Demo Day will bring.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
