Mentor in a Moment Round Table
Description: Speed dating meets business mentoring! Last year this TBSW event was SRO. Arrive early and plan to deliver your best business model in record time – no more than 5 minutes to talk up your business/business idea to one or two table facilitators.
Then you’ll receive feedback from those facilitators – local business experts, mentors and SMEs – on the model as well as advice for additional resources you might need. When the bell chimes, it’s off to the next table for another round and feedback with a new set of facilitators.
Preparation is key to getting the most from this opportunity so organize your thoughts, be prepared to answer questions, and put on your running shoes because this happens fast!
