What are the rules to present?
Startups / Co-Founders
You have 5 minutes to cover what you are looking for, what your project or skills are.
You need to communicate what your are passionate about. Better yet, reveal something personal, so people get a feel for who you really are.
Make sure that one of your pitch clearly indicates the skills you are looking for and whether full-time or part-time/moonlighting are acceptable. This is critical info for the audience.
Creatives
You have 5 -7 minutes to show case your talent and portfolio slides.
Listening to 4-5 pitches back to back is tough on the audience so we'll add networking in between.
Hope to see you all there .
