Startup Speed Dating
Have an idea? A concept? A plan?Want to share it, fund it, develop it?
Startup Speed Dating is a way for people with big ideas to enlist others in their cause, while refining and rehearsing their goals at the same time.
At Kickstand’s biannual speed dating events – a select number of start-ups learn how to structure their business plans and deliver their vision in 5 minutes; practice with experienced investors and successful CEO's/Entrepreneurs; and receive real time feedback to prepare for the long term relationship.
"This was one of the most grueling but educational events I have ever been involved in. I can directly attribute securing our financing to what I learned at start-up speed dating."
- Speed Dating participant John Fordemwalt
