夏季催化剂:10周

It’s hard to believe that Week 10 was the final week of夏季催化剂! The 16 Summer Catalyst venture teams achieved major milestones, developed their skills, learned new lessons, and made lasting connections with friends and mentors. They engaged in Hot Seat Sessions, Lunch and Learns, Team Updates, Creative Consultations, and Office Hours. They learned about sales, marketing, pitching, fundraising, finance, legal topics, and more. They overcome obstacles, celebrated wins, and accelerated their startups, all while managing through the COVID-19 pandemic. To learn more about the past 10 weeks,check out these blogs

下面是苦乐参半的最后一周了一些亮点:

Monday:

On Monday, the teams participated in a session with辛迪·克莱因Marmerto learn some helpful tips for handling the live networking that was scheduled for after the Summer Catalyst Showcase. Prior to the event, she recommended thinking through the following questions: What’s your goal for the networking session? What would make the event a success?

这里有一些讨论有用的技巧:

  • 一定要与谁正在进入变焦拨人参与。
  • 委派的团队成员之间的任务;一个成员可以与观众互动,另一个可以做笔记,和谁等待发言的其他人可以传送讯息给来宾。
  • 之后,不要忘记后续有感谢信的与会者。

Later in the day, entrepreneurs engaged in a meetup with亚当·奥尼尔,联合创始人兼首席执行官Broga。从亚当,他们了解了执行启动的社交媒体战略的最佳实践。

SVP的校友推荐停留在与同伴,导师,以及夏季催化剂顾问联系。一个伟大的技巧是发送电子邮件更新每隔几个月来更新您对您企业的进步网络。你可以抓住WhatsApp的,Facebook和LinkedIn的虚拟变焦会议或电话或保持联系。理查德还强调的是“拉拉队”对彼此的重要性。如果你看到有人达到一个里程碑或获得一场胜利,伸手向他们表示祝贺。如果你有一个粗略的时间,寻求帮助。重要的是要保持与创业者群体,彼此支持整个旅程连接。
