โPreparation:
โ๐๏ธ Founders should bring a pitch deck that they can present in under 5 minutes
โWe will also aim to share the matches and LinkedIn profiles in advance of the session so you can review who you are meeting with.
โ๐ Investors don't need to prepare in advance, but should come with the expectation that they will give thoughtful feedback to the founders on their pitch and business, and connecting and chatting further is highly encouraged!
โHow the session will run:
โEach founder will meet with 3 different investors, for 15 minutes at a time.
โFounders pitch (5 minutes), investors ask questions (5 minutes) then investors give feedback (5 minutes).
โThen we rotate and do this again for a total of three rotations
