ATTENDEE NOTES:

1 . 10 minute time slots will be strict. You must leave the table with your angel at that 10 minute mark.

2 . You can review who our angels are in advance to try to sit with the one who you feel has the most knowledge in your industry, but we will not be pairing you based on your industry. You can sit down with the angels on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that when you're in your group, you will sit down with whomever you select. You will only be able to sit with one angel, one time. You cannot go back to the same angel each turn.

3 . Groups will be based on how many angels are present (i.e. if there are 10 angels, we will have groups of 10 founders). Whoever is not in that group, will wait 10 minutes for their turn to talk to the angels.

4 . If you are a startup team, you will need to sit with the angels together. You cannot have 2 co-founders talking about the same business separately.

5. In order for this to be the most productive event, please RSVP 'YES' to this event and complete the below form. This form allows our mentors to review your company details.
