EVENT DETAILS |
StartOut is delighted to present Meet the Angels, part of our access to capital series. Our panel of active investors will share the realities, from their perspective, of investing in early stage companies.
The panel will take questions directly from the audience during the event, and also encourages questions to be submitted in advance. After the panel, we will present our highly popular pitch practice competition where a select few entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to practice their pitches for 90 seconds in front of the countdown clock, with the opportunity to win a private feedback session from the panelist(s).
To be considered to pitch, please email a paragraph about your company to info@startout.org.
