Lightning Lab startups ask – ‘where’s the money’?
(sticK - 21 May 2013 ) Lightning Lab 2013 saw nine startups pitch their digital products to would-be investors last week, seeking expansion capital for ideas that 12 weeks before mostly existed on paper.
The
Wellington Demo Day saw highly polished presentations, with
clear development plans and just as clear ‘here’s how we
and our investors are going to make money’ to about 300
people at Te Papa’s Soundings Theatre.
About half the
audience were financiers.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
