Your startup profile is a visual representation of your company at our event. The profile contains your industry, your company name and logo, your elevator pitch, your location, your website and (optionally) your Twitter. Your profile is your visual marketing. The information we ask you to provide is enough so that any attendee can reach out to you and know what industry you are in, what your company does, and ways that they can see more information about you.
The profiles are created for our startups to fill in the most important information that speaks to what their company does. It is a vital link that can make you connections at our events. As they are such a big piece at our events, our startups have visibility with all of our attendees. Importantly for a startup, this includes media, investors, speakers, high-level attendees and the thousands of people who attend as general attendees.
Purpose: Your profile says a lot about your company. How you phrase your elevator pitch will have an effect on how people engage with your company. How your logo looks will have an impact on how many people view your profile. It is, you might say, the ‘first impression’ of your startup at our event.

Your pitch deck is so important, and that’s why it’s mandatory for your profile. It shows attendees how serious you are about your business, and is a short concise space where people can really get a feel for your company. You will need a pitch deck for some of our activation applications. We know that things change quickly in startup land, so you can upload and update your pitch deck here prior to and during the event to make sure it’s as relevant as possible.
