Carlsquare Global Tech Tour 2025
Where Visionary Entrepreneurs Meet Global Capital
What is the Global Tech Tour 2025?
Carlsquare is thrilled to announce our inaugural Global Tech Tour, offering dynamic tech entrepreneurs three unique platforms to connect with global investors. No matter the location, all three are united by the aim of expanding the horizons for tech entrepreneurs and investors, fostering cross-continental connections that enable already successful businesses to hit new heights.
Three events, three continents, three world cities.
Each event has its particular slant:
- Counder Conference, Cape Town (Jan 2025): At the gateway to the world’s fastest-growing tech market, this event will spotlight African tech innovators who have already achieved astonishing success – and are poised to grow still further.
- Berlin SaaSalon (Fall 2025): In continental Europe’s tech capital and coolest city, SaaS innovators will connect with an array of leading financial and strategic investors, while sharing insights – and hearing from experts – on cutting-edge software developments.
- Global Tech Summit, San Francisco (Fall 2025): Silicon Valley’s legendary investment potential meets Napa’s equally storied natural beauty. This two-day event will unite tech entrepreneurs with the world’s top venture capitalists and private equity firms, not to mention its most acquisitive strategics, to build game-changing partnerships.

Why should you attend?
For all the innovation of their technology, tech entrepreneurs still often think nationally or regionally when it comes to choosing the right investor for the next growth step.
We want to get beyond that. In a quarter-century of global tech investment banking, we have repeatedly seen that entrepreneurs who are as creative in their investor network as in their business models gain an edge on their competitors.
Who will attend?
The Global Tech Tour 2025 is designed for CEOs and founders of fast-growing tech businesses, as well as senior decision-makers at leading financial investors and corporate development heads at strategic buyers looking for acquisitions. This event series is an unparalleled opportunity to build relationships, explore funding options, and uncover investment opportunities on a global scale.
Why Carlsquare?
As a tech investment bank with a worldwide presence, we put that breadth of vision into practice every day – and we are ideally positioned to serve as the global matchmaker for tech entrepreneurs and investors. Whether you’re looking to fundraise, sell, or grow, the Global Tech Tour 2025 is your gateway to new heights.
