The Entrepreneurial Networking Week - It’s all about people

Startup Pitch Night

Registration Only for Startups / Projects

6th of December, Student Union Building (Nymble), Nya Matsalen

Are you part of a new and exciting startup business? Would you like the opportunity to present your business idea, in English, to a group of 200 talents and potential team members, and more? The resources a startup needs to become successful takes several people with different types of skills. Startup Pitch Night will help you get your new business off the ground fast. It provides the support and networking you need to ensure that it grows to become something truly amazing. Your startup must be involved in one of these three areas.

IT/Services: Your startup can be anything from a mobile app startup to having other software/services. You are in search for people with possibly programming skills or other special IT competences. However, your idea might not involve IT/services but your startup maybe needs help in this area to move forward; e.g. a new website for the product.
Design: Your startup needs help with product design; e.g. construction, manufacturing, graphics, industrial design, mechanical etc. However, your idea might not involve design but your startup needs help in this area to move forward; e.g. you have a physical product that needs help with industrial design (esthetics).
Sustainability: Your startup is working in the field of sustainability and might develop products/services that benefits the environment. However, your idea might not involve sustainability but your startup needs help in this area to move forward; e.g. you want to improve the environmental impact your current idea/product has on the environment.

Have this in mind when filling in the form: You have to choose one of the three areas above. The area you choose must first be the area your startup is involved in. If this does not apply, then choose the area your startup needs help with.

Programme
The start-ups that have been selected will have 90 second on stage to pitch their ideas and what they are looking for to an audience of two-hundred selected students, researchers and graduates. The selected students will have competences in the three areas Design, IT/Services and Sustainability. Three inspirational speakers will during the evening talk about their struggles and how they overcame them. After the pitches, it’s time for intensive mingle and networking. We will during the entire evening offer free food and drinks along with a nice mingle in the pub at the end with all the participating sponsors and partners. See below for schedule.

Our goal is simple: It’s time for us to take more risks and possibly be part of a company that may grow to be the new Google. Jump headlong into the entrepreneurial culture of KTH and meet some passionate people we can say we’re friends with (to satisfy our mothers).

Long-term: get exposure and help for some cool new idea that can make tons of money by solving a world problem (or by just being cool and new).

Make it or break it – Go big or go home!
