"There is no cause for concern if you need to reset. We have evolved in the timeline (6 to 3 months), structure, and platform. The best companies are very iterative in their approach, they modify as they go"

The Scale & Investment stream of the Startup Launch had a great 'excursion' today to VentureCrowd, to hear from COO Sunny Yu about equity crowdfunding and get some valuable pitching feedback! Thanks very much to Sunny and VentureCrowd for the session and well done to all the teams on a great first (of many) pitch!

Any learnings you can share to us?
"If you're doing a start up yes there's a high chance of failure, but even if you fail there is no better way to experience the amount of stuff you’ve learnt on the way. And if you want to take those skills to the corporate world you can learn something that would have taken 10 years in just 6 months with a start-up."
