“FLF was our ‘coming out party’ – we had launched our prototype, had customers and revenue and it was the perfect venue to ignite investor conversations. Winning was ideal in that it affirmed us as a startup and gave us a jumping off point for conversations with press and investors.”
“Some of the advisors/mentors that I met at FLF are now integral parts of the company and continue to offer great advice and guidance.”
“First Look Forum was a great opportunity for us to learn and our first big pitching event. The biggest lesson learned was that beyond all the practice, prep and stress there is discovery of our strength and a clear understanding of the personal limitations and boundaries that needed to be broken.”
“The most valuable take-away from the FLF process was my learning to become comfortable with presenting. The feedback I received from my FLF presentation ultimately led to a complete pivot on our business model which is now a 1000 times more compelling than my original plan.”
