The Art of Matchmaking: Turning side projects into big wins

October brings another Notts Techfast for another instalment of Nottingham's 'before work' shot of technology-focussed talks and chat.

This will be a 'hybrid event' - both in-person at BJSS Nottingham's office, and available to join online too. Those who mark themselves as attending will be sent a link to join the webinar closer to the time if you're unable to join us for breakfast personally. You are welcome to join us at BJSS Nottingham from 7am. The links will also be made available via social media posts so make sure you follow us on LinkedIn and X to keep up to date.

About the talk

Georgi Iliev will be giving us a talk called "The Art of Matchmaking: Turning side projects into big wins".

Join us for an insightful tech meetup where we dive into the art of matchmaking software development and its transformative potential.
Our discussion will cover a range of innovative matchmaking solutions we've built, including platforms for capabilities, competencies, grants and tenders, partnerships, and more. Learn how these side hustle projects have evolved into powerful tools driving significant business opportunities.
Expect some "real" talk on the tech challenges we faced, the "creative" design solutions we came up with, and the different monetisation models we evaluated. Whether you're a developer, student, researcher, entrepreneur, or just curious, you'll pick up some useful insights and tips.

Georgi is a Venture and Product Development Manager at the Centre for Business and Industry Transformation (CBIT) in Nottingham Trent University.

Our thanks to BJSS Nottingham for sponsoring Techfast and if you're able to join us in person breakfast items and drinks will be provided to help start your day right. Hope to see you there!
