Do you have an idea for a startup? An idea that might have an impact on the Post-COVID-19 world? "A new normal" idea or something that could create an impact and improve the lives of other people? Could you use blunt, honest feedback on your ideas from experienced entrepreneurs? Then join us for the Founder Hotseat event from the Founder Institute. During this event, members of the audience will pitch their ideas to a panel of experts, who will then rate each pitch on a score of 1-5 (no 3's allowed!), and provide helpful feedback. Even if you don't want to pitch, you are invited to register, hear startup ideas, and watch how the experts analyze and critique new businesses.
In this interactive webinars founders are invited to pitch, get feedback, and learn the fundamentals of what makes a great pitch. You will interact with outstanding founders and CEOs from the Swiss, Israeli and Silicon Valley startup ecosystems, and will find out "Does Your Startup Offer a Valuable Service?"
