Event Details
Congratulations to Alison Lewis of Agent of Presence, Bette Pearlin of PersonalShopping.com and Gina Mancuso of LoveThatFit for their winning presentations at the kick-off of our monthly START HERE event! We want to send a special thank you to our esteemed panelists and presenting companies. We invite you to join us in May for our next night of networking, pitches and fun! Stay tuned---We will announce the date, time and location of the May event very soon!
START HERE, a new Seed Stage Elevator Pitch event, is promoted by FT Accelerator and nestGSV and is specifically designed for Fashion Tech Startups. The purpose of the program is to provide six companies or designers with an opportunity to pitch to a variety of distinguished first tier investors, bankers, PR and marketing agencies, law and accounting firms and receive feedback on their four-minute elevator pitch. A winner will be invited to present to nestGSV seed fund and Naxuri Capital seed fund for a full pitch! It's a great place to meet new people and hear valuable feedback and information from top advisers and investors in the industry!
PRESENTERS: We understand fashion tech widely, not only e-commerce and mobile apps, but also new fabric, new supply chains, data and cloud infrastructure, 3D and other virtual technologies, etc. and are interested in pre-funded, pre-revenues fashion tech start-ups and designers, at idea-to-product or later stage. Six companies/designers are chosen each month to participate in the Start Here networking event. Presenting companies will each have four (4) minutes to present to a distinguished panel of investors and influencers. The panel then asks a few questions (4 min.) and then provides feedback (2 min.). After hearing from each company, the panel chooses whom they feel is the most promising startup and the winner gets a meeting with nestGSV seed fund and Naxuri Capital seed fund! If you are a fashtech startup or a designer and are interested in pitching, please submit an email to info@ftaccelerator.com with [your company name] Pitch Interest in the subject line. For questions regarding the event, please email Isabel Rittenberg at Isabel@nestGSV.com with your contact information and any questions that you may have. We look forward to working with you!
