Speed Consulting at Babson College
This Meetup is a "Speed Consulting" event that connects the hottest young start-ups with experienced advisors, we call them "Boomers".
Start-ups eager to learn from experienced hands are given 15 minutes with teams of "Boomers" who help address the 3 main challenges facing their start-up, for example: "how do I develop my sales pipeline? how do I raise funding? how do I build a strong team? how can I test my prototype? what are the risks surrounding my venture?"
