Speed Venture Summit seeks startup participants

Applications from New Hampshire startups are being accepted through Oct. 18 for the NH Tech Alliance’s Speed Venture Summit, an investor “speed dating” event.

The Nov. 5 virtual event is aimed at helping startups connect with investors across the region. At the event, a group of investors and entrepreneurs will match startups with multiple investors for individual pitches.

The goal, said Joshua Cyr, senior director of startup initiatives at the alliance, is to have the business concept resonate with an investor who then wants to have follow-up meetings where participants can dig into the details.

“Speed Venture Summit is a well-loved startup event here in New Hampshire, and we are so pleased to be able to run it virtually. New Hampshire entrepreneurs are continuing to innovate, and we are here to help them thrive,” said Joshua Cyr, senior director of startup initiatives at the alliance, in a statement.
