The Startup Huddle event provides a platform for entrepreneurs to discover solutions to the challenges they face through purposeful engagement with a broad array of voices from the local community, who can also share their experiences.

 

Startups are given context about the topic at hand, which includes tools, tricks and techniques from experts. This can take up to 10min. Thereafter, they will be given 2-3 minutes to tell us about some of the challenges they have encountered in their business venture. Participants then get into small groups where they Huddle for a 10-minute -interactive activity. Each group selects a team member or two to share what they discussed. The Huddle will close off having equipped the techies with practical and value-add experience they can use in their startup journey.

Building a business rarely goes exactly as planned. Sometimes, moving forward means changing direction, making difficult decisions or letting go of what no longer works. Under the theme “This Wasn’t the Plan”, we’re bringing Startup Huddle and Sloane Connect together for an afternoon of honest conversations, shared experiences and meaningful connections.
