Techstars Startup Week Tampa Bay 2018: Full Schedule

10:00am EST

Mentor in a Moment Round Table

Speed dating meets business mentoring! Last year this TBSW event was SRO. Arrive early and plan to deliver your best business model in record time – no more than 5 minutes to talk up your business/business idea to one or two table facilitators.

Then you’ll receive feedback from those facilitators - local business experts, mentors and SMEs – on the model as well as advice for additional resources you might need. When the bell chimes, it’s off to the next table for another round and feedback with a new set of facilitators.

Preparation is key to getting the most from this opportunity so organize your thoughts, be prepared to answer questions, and put on your running shoes because this happens fast!

CEO Roundtable

Limited Capacity full

5 health and technology CEOs, carefully curated by FL Health Innovators and Techstars, will be joining us for our CEO Roundtable event. Small groups will meet with a CEO for table-side engagements where CEOs will offer up a brief pitch about their novel business; the rest of the discussion is up to you! After 20-30 minutes, groups will rotate and engage with the next CEO, and repeating the process until complete.

Make sure to bring your business cards to extend your reach beyond this event!
