Hey folks,
Nicolas from mangoUP here! Long time no see my friends. How is 2021 going so far? For us, the last few months have been IN-SANE!
But weāve missed youā¦
And thatās why today, we would like to invite you to join our Discord community and pitch your business idea in front of experts and peers during our next event š„°.
š„ Introducingā¦ mangoUPās first Pitch Poker Challenge
Why Poker? BecauseĀ there's money to be won šøĀ It's like playing poker with friends. Everyone bets a few euros to play (pitch, in this case) and the winners share the total.
Join us next week onĀ Wednesday, February 17 at 6pm GMT on DiscordĀ to pitch in front of our community and a jury š¤
We've partnered withĀ WiserĀ to bring expertĀ Rui Gouveia as a member of the jury! Rui is a serial entrepreneur and CEO @Build Up Labs, a Lisbon-based incubator and startup studio. Heās been helping startups for 15 years. And he wonāt be alone š
The winners will be elected by the public (vote), and the jury. So, if you donāt want to pitch, you can still come to watch and vote for your favorite projects! The event is completely free and open to everyone to watch.
š¤© I wanna pitch!Ā
ā> No idea is too early-stage.Ā You can pitch a project you've been working on for months or the idea you had yesterday morning in the shower! We're here to receive and give feedback, practice pitching, meet other entrepreneurs, and give small financial support to the winning projects.
Btw, no project is too early-stage to join our community of peers neither. At mangoUP, we focus on very early-stage entrepreneurs and help them build projects solid enough to join an Accelerator, Incubator, and apply for a Pre-Seed.
