Yesterday evening I think I saw the future - and it works!
You have a great idea, you have the finance and now all you need is the people - often the most difficult part of the start-up process.
The innovative Angel News team have come up with an exciting and challenging way for new or expanding companies to find key personnel.
Pitching for Management enables a company to showcase their work to a carefully selected group of professionals.
Last night the format was simple. Meet at six after work. Drinks, three eight minute presentations. Coffee. Three more presentations. Buffet dinner.
The presentations varied but the enthusiasm didn't. I must confess to being lost on one or two of the high tech products but each pitch concluded by focusing on the business's requirements.
Over dinner there was much exchanging of cards and it was obvious that the evening had been a success.
I spoke to several of the audience and was impressed by the breath of knowledge and experience. Somebody had clearly done their homework and created a great invitation list.
This is a great new form of business development and one that I would recommend to both start-ups and professionals. I will predict that we will hear much more about Pitching for Management in future months
