Well, when I was on Dragons Den one reviewer wrote that I had “gone to the PolPot school of charm”; but I do think the comment above matches it… I had never before thought of myself as being a “know-nothings who can do fuck all to add value to your startup” but Im willing to try tonight….

FYI – Just working on getting final numbers of VCs/Investors. When I know that number, I’ll release more tickets. Meanwhile, apologies for the delay and stay tuned to the blog. Trying to blog, run events, answer phone calls, email and travel around Europe at the same time is an interesting game.

Looking forward to this Mike, as Im finding on my trails, pitching the idea is hard to get across and needs practice, so be great to see these quick flowing defined presentations and how that message gets across.

[...] TechCrunch Pitch! it’s time to get real. TechCrunch Pitch! is a stripped down, “bare essentials” event. Just fast pitches from startups and networking. Six to eight early stage start-ups pitch to an audience of potential investors, press and tech industry people. It is designed to run fast and smooth, followed by networking over drinks and nibbles, in the heart of London’s West End. At the end of the pitches the audience will choose the startup who pitch and idea they think was the best. The winning startup will get an iPhone. [...]

Steven,

The non www part of your web address does not resolve (http://wirelessmatch.co.uk/) as linked to from your name.

You probably want to 301 redirect it to the www version.

Hi Mike

Whilst our current budget does not really provide for sponsorships
I am willing to consider a ‘token’ contribution (Bronze?). In addition,
we may well want to offer our services to the top three ventures on the basis of reduced success fees?

Please let me know

Best regards
