Whether you’re growing your business, looking to collaborate, exploring the local startup ecosystem, or simply keen to connect with like-minded people, Sloane Connect is the place to be.

 

Here’s what you can look forward to:
📌Meaningful networking opportunities
📌Conversations with founders, investors, corporates, and ecosystem partners

📌Great music from our live DJ to keep the energy going throughout the evening

 

Let’s celebrate the power of giving back through collaboration, because when entrepreneurs support one another, stronger businesses and stronger communities are built.

 

Who knows? The conversation you have, the connection you make, or the insight you gain could be exactly what helps unlock your next opportunity.

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.
