Next level networking! Just imagine: wherever you go (both online and in-person) you know upfront what other professionals do, who they are as a professional and as a person and most of all, what they seek. They call it ‘networking with insider knowledge’! Soon this startup will launch their brand new digital MVP. Contact them for a preview.
The Dutch business events market is worth € 9,1 billion. 43% of events do not facilitate a networking app, which leaves us a € 3,9B gap to jump into. This is a startup with a highly scalable platform and ambitious growth scenario! They intend to internationalize within 3 years. They build a large community of professionals and their rich data. They help users turn first meetings into long-term beneficial business relations and utilize these relations. This is how this startup stays relevant to users. And they offer investors to get in very early!
The startup is looking to raise € 200K, which can be completed in one or multiple tickets. If completing € 50K+ equity percentage and role are negotiable. If smaller you should think of a € 200K / 20% ratio. They use your investment to build a large professional community and execute their smart invite-only growth strategy with PR and acquisition. They also spend the money to further develop and improve the product. The founders are looking forward to meeting you! Please reach out to them to have a live or virtual cup of coffee.
