Speed-Dating for Entrepreneurs


The MIT Enterprise Forum of South Florida is hosting a "Speed-Dating for Entrepreneurs" event March 16 and I've agreed to help out on the investor panel. BusinessWire just got the press release and event details are now finalized.

My last fund used to host one of these and they're a great opportunity for committed entrepreneurs and fence-sitting entrepreneurs to share their ideas, make connections, get fast feedback, and improve their plans. Feedback can range from "don't quit your day job" to "you've really got something here", but the practice of pitching to investors and listening is valuable on its own.

I hope you'll join us and, particularly those sitting on the fence, this could be the key next step in your journey...
