All startups who have launched, planning to launch, probably should launch, dream of launching, contemplating to launch, wondering if they should launch, or wish they had a startup to launch are invited to THE 6th Annual Startup Grind Chicago Launch Party - Summer 2022.
In our first live IRL event since February 2020, we're going BIG! This night includes:
How it works...
PITCH COMPETITION
The Startups. We will give 8 startup founders the mHUB stage for 3-minutes each to pitch to the audience and judges' table. There will be investors, so be prepared to answer questions!
The Judges. We are lucky to have three impressive guest judges: Kaili Emmerich from Google for Startups, Nishad Parmar from LOUD Capital, and Ale Breuer from Network Ventures to provide insights and feedback on each pitch. They will help founders understand what worked, what could be done better, and what it takes to land an investment from an investor like them.
Everyone Else. You play a huge role in this. You will receive $1,000 (fake money) to "invest" in the startup or startups you like best. Whichever startup "raises" the most (fake) money wins real cash and prizes!
The Winning Startup. The winning startup takes home a $3,000 equity-free cash prize courtesy of the Startup Hypeman pitch fund, access to the Startup Grind Startup Membership Community, and a free ticket to the Startup Grind 2023 Global Conference.
