The Startup Speed Dating connects students and startups in a simple way: you will meet startup founders in short 6-minutes “speed-dates” followed by a networking apéro and afterparty.
At the beginning of the evening, each startup gets a chance to present a 30-second pitch. Then, the participants and the startup get to meet and to choose who they are going to have speed-dates with. Afterwards, it’s speed-dating time, with 12 rounds of speed-dates, and as many opportunities for the startups and the participants to get to know each other more. Once you’re on a date, the possibilities are limitless!
