Startup Grind - Startup Showcase Funtacular
IT'S A PARTY TIME!!! July is Startup Grind’s global party month. Yeah, we get to let our hair down and have some fun. Join Startup Grind Columbia’s 7-month anniversary on July 24 and they have some great things planned.
Startup Grind Columbia is holding inaugural "Startup Showcase Funtacular" featuring 6 local young startups who will pitch the audience for prizes. They have to do so in unusual ways without the use of the dreaded PowerPoint. Attend this event and see how creative they can be.
Each startup will have one hour to meet with as many attendees as possible and "sell" their company using only an Executive Summary, their interpersonal communications skills, and small highly creative and unique props and visuals (NO POWER POINTS). Then each startup will do a 3 minute "speed pitch" from the stage.
Using real time, on-line feedback/voting app, the audience gets to provide real time feedback, comments, and suggestions during the event then will immediately vote for the winners. Prizes will be awarded including one for the most creative presentation.
It’s going to be a lot of fun!!
Agenda:
5:30 pm Food, Drink, Fun, Make Friends, Startup "selling" hour
6:30 pm Startup "Speed" Pitches
7:15 pm Awards, Prizes, and Giveaways
