NWEN is looking for innovative, growth-oriented, pre-funded companies who could use some expert coaching (and for a lucky 12, some great exposure) to get them to the next level. Because NWEN supports innovation across practically every industry (clean-tech to consumer products, web 2.0 to medical devices), some of the awesome companies could really benefit from this mentorship program. Full disclosure--Chris Devore -- my partner is one of the 20 coaches for First Look Forum.
I highly encourage you to apply-- it's a great forcing function to distill your business into one page, and no matter what the outcome, you'll get great support.
Earlybird applicants get a hosted reception with insider tips. Every applicant gets feedback on the exec summary, and a workshop on how to pitch to investors. The top 20 also get in-depth coaching from a pair of investors. The final 12 get all that and exposure to 20+ funding groups at our invite-only investor event on October 12.
Click here for more info and to apply! Earlybird applications close July 26. Please note-- if you don't have time to complete the application to meet the earlybird deadline, just register online to get your invite to the reception. You'll be all set as long as you get the exec summary in by August 18.
