We’re shaking it up this year – and we’ve changed the format of Founder Factory. This year we’re hosting Beta (fish) Bowl. What is Beta (fish) Bowl? Think “poor man’s” version of the ABC hit show – Shark Tank!
Three companies will have the opportunity to pitch their business to a panel of investors. After the presentation, the investor panel will have the opportunity to aks questions. Each investor will then have an opportunity to cast their vote. Would they consider investing with this company, or not. And for how much? And the bonus factor – after the pitch/decision process – you get a chance to ask the investor questions about how they made their decision.
At the end of the presentations – the company with the most virtual dollars wins. What do they win you ask? An amazing prize pack courtesy of our sponsors. We’re firming up the prize pack right now – but stay tuned for details. (details about a prize you you’ll wish you were going to get to take home!)
