Who Should Attend

Come to this event to GIVE just as much as you GET.

Our event structure allows attendees to briefly introduce themselves and share what they are looking for.

As you hear people state their needs during the introductions, think about how you can help other attendees.  Then, reach out to these individuals during general networking time, just the same as others will reach out to you with ways that they can help you.  

The network effect of all attendees helping each other magnifies the total reach and increases the chances of finding what you are looking for.

SPACE IS LIMITED.

You must purchase a ticket to attend.

The Startup Matchup Format

    1. The Startup Matchup event starts with each attendee giving a quick 30 second introduction to the group, providing their:
      • Name and title, 
      • Company name 
      • What their company does, 
      • What they are looking for or need.  

      For example, someone might need a technical co-founder, advice on setting up a crowd funding campaign, a referral for a reasonably priced startup lawyer or a Cassandra noSQL database developer.

    2. As you listen to each attendee’s introduction, take notes and think about whether you could help.  Each chair will have a stack of blank business cards and a pen.  During the general networking session, seek out individuals that you could help and if appropriate, write down information on the blank business cards and exchange information.  This is a good ice-breaker and a reason to start a conversation. As you seek out individuals to potentially help, you in-turn will be sought out and engaged with by others willing to help you. This is part of the GIVE and GET relationship that produces valuable connections and a quality networking event for all.
