On Wednesday of this week, I will be attending my 4th Funding Feeding Frenzy event that is organized by Extraordinary Success, LLC. As usual, I am looking forward to making new connections, networking with current connections, learning and hearing about some pretty amazing business start-up or growth ventures.
I belong to #MsTech, a private Facebook group. Last week, someone in our group asked if anyone had attended Funding Feeding Frenzy and would they recommend it to other businesses and individuals. I stepped right up to answer that question. Obviously, if you have a product or service that you want to pitch to a panel of investors, you should have already signed up to attend and pitch. But fear not, there is still a chance to spread the word about your product or service and thus meet some people that might help you raise financing. You want to attend as a Demo Company and get a demo table in the booth area if you have a product or service. Another reason you would want to attend is to create/renew connections with investors, start-ups, decision makers and entrepreneurs. No matter if you are attending as a Presenting Company, a Demo Company or an Attendee, you will learn a lot, meet some pretty fabulous people and have fun.
At the previous Funding Feeding Frenzy events, I have met some pretty amazing people that are some of the major movers and shakers here in the Chicago Tech and Start-up circles. Some of these people have become more than just business acquaintances because of the fact that we see and talk with each other at a lot of events where businesses pitch their ideas in hopes of raising capital for their venture. I would encourage anyone to attend Funding Feeding Frenzy if you want to keep your fingers on the top of new things happening here in Chicago.
I am very lucky this time because I am attending as part of the support team. At the event, I will be Tweeting and making other posts to social media sites. The Twitter hashtag I will be using is “#FundingFF”. I encourage you to follow & join the conversation on Twitter. I will have my cameras with me so I will be taking pictures and videos. Please stop by so we can chat for a few minutes. Just look for @TektiteGroup (Jean Pickering) in the middle of everything.
