Forging connections with a potential VC, collaborator or mentor can make all the difference to startups. This innovative VC-startup networking platform will bring together key investors, and entrepreneurs with 1:1 meetings virtually, to help catalyse fruitful discussions for mutual benefit
The VC connect forum is designed to help startups meet top VCs and Angel investors in their sector, understand what they are looking for, and take their startup to the next level. YourStory will curate one-on-one virtual meetings with VCs and startups by sector, funding stage and other criteria. These meetings will be only available for selected startups after an initial round of shortlisting. Once selected, you will be required to buy the tickets to participate.
1. How can I be a part of this track?
Dates and timings for the relevant tracks will be shared upon shortlisting. All startups will undergo a round of shortlisting based on the registration form to ensure relevant matches. If selected, the startup will be notified by mail and will be required to buy the tickets (link will be provided) for confirmation of participation. Details regarding format and further details will be shared to the confirmed participants via mail.
2. Can I still participate if my company does not have a prototype/MVP?
Unfortunately, no. Startups who wish to participate must at least have a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
3. When and where can I see the list of participating investors?
The list of participating investors will be updated on this website on a continual basis.
4. How long will a meeting be?
Each startup will get up to 10 min per investor, and can expect to meet representatives from multiple funds in a speed dating format. Each meeting will be timed.
5. Is it possible to apply more than once for my company?
Each company can only apply only once. Multiple entries will not be accepted, and do not increase the chances of more meetings being scheduled. In the event of multiple entries only the first entry received will be considered.
6. Can I change time schedules after I receive a confirmed meeting slot?
All meetings will be set according to a fixed schedule. Time schedules of confirmed meetings will not be changed. In case you are unable to meet the investors at the specified time, we will pass on your contact and company details to them after.
