Apps World Free Expo Pass
by Startacus Admin
Last week we gave away 4 free Gold Passes to Apps World mobile technology and enterprise conference worth over £1,000 each, but you don’t need to have that kind of money to enjoy some of the marvellous events and gatherings that will be taking place over the course of the 2-day event!
There will be a huge amount of technology, enterprise, and app ecosystem related merriment to partake of for absolutely no money whatsoever!
So that you can take full advantage of the opportunity, here’s a quick rundown the key events and gathering spaces!
Investment Clinic
For the first time ever Apps World will play host to an investment clinic, where 8 leading investors will give an insider's perspective on how to raise investment during different stages of your business development.
The investors who will be in attendance to share their expertise include:
Raj Dhonota (Investor, entrepreneur, mentor), Tom Teichman (Chairman of Spark Ventures), Stefano Tresca (Managing Director of iSeed), Gavin Teo (Principal Comcast Ventures) Martyn Holman (Investment Director at Oxford Capital Partners), Russell Buckley (Chairman of Tapdaq), Roy Vella (Managing Director of Vella Ventures).
£150K Investment Giveaway!
It has also been confirmed that Raj Dhonota will be making up to £150K of investment available should he stumble upon a startup that he thinks has the potential to go all the way! He recently told Apps World of his ambition to find an investment ready startup at the event;
“I’m always on the lookout for people with great business ideas that may need investment to help them develop and launch their idea. I’m hoping to hear from anyone with a great app idea and needing investment up to £150,000 to make their idea a reality. Come and discuss your idea with me at the Apps World Investment Clinic”
Now if that’s not reason enough to go then nothing will be!! Passes to the investment clinic are free and can be accessed via this handy link!
Startup Launchpad!
As if a £150K investment opportunity wasn’t enough, this year Apps World will play host to a Startup Launchpad competition! Created for startups doing innovative things within the app space, Startup Launchpad will give 8 startups the chance to pitch their product in front of a panel of experts and leading lights from the technology and digital spheres (including Startacus co-founder Alastair Cameron).
Not only will the participating startups gain immense experience of pitching their work to the figureheads of their industry, but they will also be given priceless advice and the opportunity to secure investment and move their business to the next level.
