Do you have a startup or a strong idea for a startup? Could you use direct, honest feedback on your ideas? Then join us for the Founder Hotseat event, organised by the Founder Institute Serbia and Digital Serbia Initiative. You'll learn the best practices for creating a concise and compelling pitch from an experienced entrepreneur, and if selected, pitch your idea to a panel of experts, who will rate the 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 business opportunities. To pre-submit your pitch, visit https://forms.gle/rrwWGH144S3RQL6j8
