The Start-up Lab is a
pitching event, idealized by
Artemisia
and Hub
São Paulo. It allows social business entrepreneurs to
present their business to a specialists’ panel, so their business
models can be tested. The entrepreneurs get feed-backs and make
contact with other players that can contribute to their venture.
The pitching time is 05
minutes. The panel also has 5 minutes to give feed-backs. Its
members are usually investors and other entrepreneurs. There’s also
a live audience interested on the social business concept. The
pitcher must make clear his business model, history and profile, and
expose what is his need for the venture, such as investment,
partnership, physical resources and/or clients.
Besides testing their
business and receiving inputs for improvement, another great
opportunity of this event is the possibility for the entrepreneurs
to meet new people and start a business relationship after the
pitching session. It is the ideal moment for potential investors,
partners or clients, start talking with the pitcher, for future
unfolding.
