Tune in today for the live stream from TechCrunch Moscow, our third annual event in the Russian capital. Today is Demo Day, where we will see 44 companies pitch in one afternoon. Tomorrow will feature a plethora of speakers both from the Russian and from international markets.
Co-organized by Digital October, Kite Ventures and AOL Tech Media, and backed by numerous partners, the third TechCrunch Moscow will tomorrow feature some of the world’s leading technology entrepreneurs, including Brent Hoberman, founder of Lastminute.com and Mydeco.com, Lukasz Gadowski, founder of Team Europe, Dmitry Stavisky, VP of Evernote, Arkady Volozh, co-founder and CEO of Yandex, Christian Saller, Managing Director of Kayak Europe and many other leading names.
TechCrunch Moscow will be held at the first Russian private tech incubator, Digital October, located in the historical manufacturing building Krasny Oktyabr. For history buffs, this building was part of the “Red October” building (Красный Октябрь in Russian) named after the Russian Revolution. Pretty appropriate for revolutionary entrepreneurs, right? There’s a dedicated Twitter feed and Facebook page and we use the hashtag #TCMoscow.
