As a prerequisite to pitch at the i.MATCH track – The Deal Room, companies are required to participate in a pre-selection process done by a separate panel of judges. This would mean that companies are already getting substantial exposure to investors just by pitching at this pre-selection event. Apart from pitching during your allocated 10 minute slot (inclusive of interrupted Q&A), you are also welcome to observe the other pitches and possibly explore synergies with other startups.
Date: 17-Sep (Friday)
Time: 10am to 5pm
Venue: SingTel Auditorium
This pre-selection event, supported by Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA), is complimentary for all IDM companies. Participating companies will also receive 2 complimentary passes to Accelerate 2010 worth SGD798.
As spaces for the pre-selection pitching are limited (on a first come first serve basis), do register as soon as possible.
