The Value Exchange (Non Members)
Meet ambitious start ups who are building brands, products and services which target consumers over 50.
We're delighted to be running this face to face event in the completely stunning corporate offices of Greenwoods LLP.
We have partnered with the Silver Marketing Association - who are bringing some amazing, growing start ups which are poised for growth. This is not a careers fair - but a chance to meet, build relationships and discuss what value you can exchange.
Format:
Think Dragons Den - but instead of pitching for an investment of money, the businesses are pitching for your time, expertise, contacts, advice. What are you pitching for in return? Previous events have lead to collaborations, people landing advisory roles, people building confidence, earning testimonials that enable them to expand their work - the opportunities are endless to those who attend.
Listen to what start ups have said about meeting our members at a previous Value Exchange: Why are Brave Starts members valuable to a start up audience? Hear from 6 start ups:
