Face to Face with Investors Round Tables
Casual roundtable breakout room discussions let you share your startup vision and get f2f feedback from investors to grow your startup to the next level.
Founders can choose to meet with investors who specialize in Life Sciences, Consumer Products, Software, or General investing.
Each entrepreneur has 2 minutes to ask a strategy question or quickly ask for pitch feedback. (Please note that this is not a pitch session.)
Entrepreneurs will benefit from the advice and discussion from their fellow entrepreneurs.
