SUMMARY:Pitch Your Company to the Community and to Accredited Investors
DESCRIPTION:SUMMARY\nBlockchain will change the world in the next 5 years to the same extend as the Internet changed the world in the last 20 years. We help promising companies to realise this vision by providing them a platform to present their approach and to excite investors making them to engage in such development. \nWe organise two events on two consecutive days. Next events are on:\n17 January 2019 public community event with 50-100 attendees\, description see: Community Night\n18 January 2019 invitation-only event and gala dinner with 20-30 accredited investors\, see: Investor Event \nIn order to achive a maximum possible impact on both events we also offer a pitching training on both days as a preparation. \nThis is now the 5th time we organise this twin-event which is highly recognised by both presenting companies as well as the audience of entrepreneurs\, business leaders and investor (see testimonials below). \nYou are invited to apply for presenting your company on these two events. \nTo apply we request an application fee of 50 CHF incl. VAT but excl. Eventbrite fees. This application fee is non-refundable in the case you would not be admitted to present. There is no guarantee to be admitted. When your participation has been approved you will be requested to pay the full amount as stated below. \n\n \nOn both events we present 6-12 promising companies with a solid blockchain-related business case of any development stage and any funding stage. International companies are welcome to join.\n\nWe present Pre-ICO\, ICO and Post-ICO companies\, ideally with revenues. But also ideas/concepts are welcome to pitch\, even when the company has not yet been incorporated\, as long as business model and implementation are outstanding. \nFORMAT\nOn both events (public community event and accredited investor event) entrepreneurs present their business during 5 minutes followed by a 4 minute Q&A session with other entrepreneurs in an efficient and compact way. \nPROGRAM\nPitch Training 17 and 18 January 2019 (Zug)\n09:30 – 14:30 Guided training and assisted tuning of the presentation \nPublic Community Event: 17 January 2019 (Zug)\n16:00 Doors Open & Networking\n17:00 Opening Welcome & Intros\n17:10 Fireside Chat or Podium Discussion\n18:00 Company Presentations (10 minutes each)\n19:30 Networking & Drinks\n22:00 Event Closing \nAccredited Investor Event: 18 January 2019 (Zug)\n16:00 Doors Open & Networking\n16:30 Opening Welcome & Intros\n16:35 Fireside Chat Dr. Urs Aebischer and Dr. Heike Virmond\n17:00 Company Presentations (5 min each + 4 min Q&A)\n19:00 Investor Discussion\n19:30 Networking & Drinks\n20:00 Gala Dinner\n22:00 Event Closing \nPITCH TRAINING\nSome companies believe that they do not need a pitch training. We leave it to each company whether they want to attend or not. We noticed that even quite advanced companies and experienced speakers highly appreciated our training for multiple reasons. First\, it is quite a challenge to aggregate all essential information in 5 minutes to include all relevant information for investors and to leave out everything\, which is not needed and to create a storyline that attracts investors. Second\, having experienced people\, who are not part of your company\, to challenge your pitch before you present it to the investors\, provides the opportunity to gain an independent opinion and valuable input from the investor’s point of view. \n \nPUBLIC COMMUNITY EVENT\nEverybody is invited to join our public event: entrepreneurs\, business leaders\, advisors\, investors from all areas of tech interested in start-up\, scale-up\, disruption\, business transformation\, blockchain\, cryptocurrencies and more. \n\n \nACCREDITED INVESTOR EVENT\nOnly accredited investors such as HWNI’s familiy offices and institutional investors are invited to this event. The purpose is to provide such investers direct investment opportunites through a diversified portfolio rather than investing indirectly through a fund. \n \nFIRESIDE CHAT\nDr. Urs Aebischer is a serial digital entrepreneur\, innovator and investor. He believes that Blockchain will have a larger impact on the society than Internet\, since it will radically change the way we currently do business. He has been keynote speaker in Africa\, USA and Brazil where he shares his vision that Blockchain empowers emerging countries creating wealth through a new culture of entrepreneurship. Urs Aebischer has a PhD in physics from ETH\, he started his career as management consultant with St. Gallen Consulting Group before he co-founded his first start-up in Berlin in Internet-Telephony (VoIP) which after a merger became a unicorn in 2000. \nDr. Heike Virmond has 20 years of transformational experience as strategy consultant at Bain\, family business expert and international NLP coach and trainer.
