Dozens of investors from the Netherlands and abroad will be in Orion during the next couple of days. They will be looking for start-ups that need funding and have the potential to grow. At the same time, a number of start-ups will be given the opportunity to pitch in front of these investors.

Start-up
One of these start-ups is Cerescon. This company, which was supervised by StartLife, recently reached the news when they launched a new, fully automated asparagus harvester. According to Cerescon, their invention is especially meaningful for businesses that employ relatively expensive people to harvest asparagus.
Funding
The next step is to sell that innovative machine to customers. Funding is necessary to meet the demand. Cerescon hopes to find investors to accomplish this during the next two days at F&A Next in Orion.
