Join London Startup 2.0 Group
Hi people,
I have recently created a new startup group on facebook to help people with their ideas and investment. click here to join. Below is the extract from the group blog:
London Start-up 2.0 is a social group promoting the technology industry
in London. You do not need to live in the London area to be a member or
take part in it. The group was created due to demand in the start-up
community. The current formats of meet-ups in the community are very
informal and make it very difficult for start-ups to make the right
impact.
London Start-ups 2.0 is about creating connections
between the right people to take their business or ideas further. This
is a place where aspiring and veteran switch ideas and form
partnerships. We also understand the difficulties that businesses face
in raising finances. For this reason, we have partnered with
organisations including VCs to attend the meetings. We have list of
important figures that we personally invite to spot new opportunities.
Our meetings will usually last about 4 hours long (+ free WiFi) and will take the following format:
• Opening
o Registration for start-ups presentation
There will be 15 places available. The spaces will be allocated on the
first come first serve basis. Start-ups will be given a 5 minutes spot
to showcase their products/ services in a very formal way: – please
focus on introducing your company, product/ services and business
model. Remember that you will be presenting to an audience of well
chosen investors in a “Dragon’s Den” style, therefore you have to make
sure that you know your ins and outs.
o Networking with community peers
o Food and drinks are provided free charge
• Presentation/ demo
o Each entrepreneurs will showcase their products/ services on a large projector for 5 minutes.
o
The events will be filmed and distributed to other investment companies
through the internet. Therefore, if you did not get any luck this time
around, do not worry as more company will see your presentation.
• End of event
o Snack bar free of charge
o Networking
Government
and other agencies providing financial support to small and medium size
businesses will also be attending to give advice and support for you to
take your ideas to implementation.
This group is about promoting
your ideas and business; we ask that for the benefit of all our
members, each member should post a brief introduction of themselves on
the wall. You can use the forums to exchange ideas with others. Let’s
keep this group very active.
Thank you for joining the group and wish you all the best in your venture.
The first meeting will be held @ the idea store – Canary Wharf London…. date to be announced.
See you there
