The Team

By Builders, for Builders

Our mission

Put Eastern Europe on the global map.

How to Web exists to put Eastern European founders, operators, and investors on the global map. We believe this region is one of the most under-indexed sources of technical talent and ambition in the world, and our job is to make sure the right people meet at the right moment.

Every program we run — the conference, the reports, the founder and investor tracks — is built around a single goal: turn raw potential into companies, capital, and category leaders that the rest of the world can no longer ignore.

Team

The people building it.

A small, hands-on group that has spent the last fifteen years working alongside the founders, operators, and investors shaping Eastern Europe.

Orchestrates the entire conference experience — agenda, stages, matchmaking, and the thousands of moving parts behind the scenes.
