We are excited to announce that Dr Florian Kandler, founder of GetFunding.how, will join the EU-Startups Summit 2026 on May 7-8 in sunny Malta.

Over the years, he has built and funded startups himself, having co-founded three companies, two of which raised more than €3 million from investors in the US and Europe. His entrepreneurial journey, which included time in Silicon Valley and multiple fundraising rounds across different markets, has shaped the practical, founder-first approach he is known for today.
Since 2016, Florian has focutilized full-time on supporting entrepreneurs become investor-ready and raise capital with more structure, clarity, and confidence. Through his workshops, advisory work, online programmes, and educational content, he has supported more than 3,000 founders across 20 countries, with those entrepreneurs going on to raise over €1 billion in funding. He has also worked with numerous accelerators, incubators, and startup organisations across Europe, supporting founders improve how they approach investors and manage the fundraising process.
At the Summit, Florian will deliver a talk titled “Fundraising Secrets: Strategies, FOMO and Follow-Ups that win over Investors”. In this session, he will share practical insights into what creates investor outreach more effective, how founders can build momentum during a fundraising round, why a structured process often creates the difference between stalled conversations and serious investor interest, and much more!
