If a company is selected for the Quarterfinals, they should be prepared to do a 3 minute pitch and a 3 minute Q/A
If a company is selected for the Semi-Finals, they should be prepared to do a 10 minute pitch and a 10 minute Q/A
Companies
that are selected into the Finals should expect a call from the Due
Diligence Lead on or near April 12th, arranging meetings. You should
expect to spend a couple of hours each week from then until the event
connecting with the due diligence team members.
Your
goal as a company is to connect with the Angel Investors and to build
relationships and get to know who might be a champion for you.
On
the final event, all of your co-founders are invited. Expect to get a
access code to get tickets for your cofounder teammates.
All
of the companies, regardless if they progress into the QuarterFinals
are able to arrange a feedback session with one of the Angel investors
and get a review of all the commentary from the reviewers.
Our goal is to help you move forward with your startup. Let us know how we can best help you do that.
