Deetha for startups - How it works?
The deadline for startups to register is the 10th of May!!!
A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners. 15 minutes run fast, but they are enough to build first connections before the meeting ends and the next talk starts.
1) Registration
Register via the Register button until 10th of May.
2) Publish a profile to showcase your startup
Create a clear and concise profile to raise your visibility on the b2match platform.
Your profile should describe who you are, what you do, and who you want to meet. The quality of meeting requests will increase with the amount of info you provide on your profile.
3) Create a "Product" on the Marketplace
Under marketplace create a product, where you link your two main videos titled "demo video" and "pitch video" as well as further videos you have.
Additonally, if you are looking for a partnership/cooperation, you can post a request on the marketplace.
4) Browse profiles of attendees
Go to the participants list to find the investors with the right focus for you.
Also browse the marketplace for other startups looking to create an epic partnership.
5) Send & receive meeting requests
Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet during the event.
Hint: Quality beats Quantity so don't just write to every investor, but look for the ones whose focus you fit best. Do some research on them before asking for a meeting. And maybe they have already sent a request to you by then ;)
6) Matchmaking Event
Access your meetings in My Agenda, where you have your complete schedule for the event and the list of your meetings. Check your camera and microphone and don't be late!
