We designed this event to maximize interaction between founders and investors. Instead of a traditional pitch competition, we feature a rapid-fire format where each startup has 90 seconds to pitch on the showcase floor. After these quick pitches, attendees can network, meet the founders, and enjoy refreshments. This system prioritizes developing meaningful connections and creating an engaging experience for all.
