Speed Venture Summit
Bringing together New Hampshire’s early-stage growth companies, regional investors, and tech influencers.
Speed Venture Summit, held on September 26th, is a great way for NH startups to get access to high-level networking, speed dating with investors, and to hear from industry leaders.
The event is broken into two parts.
Speed Venture Summit – Pitches
The first half is for approved investors and startup founders. We match startups with multiple investors for very fast individual pitches. Think of it like speed dating. No deals will be done at the event. Instead good conversations are had that should lead to follow-up meetings where participants can dig into the details.
Are you an investor who would like to participate? Email info@NHTA.org for more information on how to get involved.
The application period for startups is now complete and the matching process is starting. No new startups will be accepted.
Speed Venture Summit – Reception
The second half is open to the public and occurs after all the pitches have been completed. We host a networking event for everyone that is wrapped up by a fireside chat with Will Herman. Registration for the networking event will open in August.
