The sign’s out for our Investor AMA!
September 30 is the day startup founders, the investor community, and startup ecosystem enablers can candidly engage in a conversation with three seasoned investors of tech and impact startups operating in the Philippines and abroad.
ASK-ME-ANYTHING (AMA) GUIDELINES:
Our goal is to help our Raid The Fridge audience get the most learning out of the investor panel within 90mins. As such, we’d like to try out the following:
Before the AMA. When you register for the event, you can share with us an issue/question that you’d really like to discuss with or get answered by the investor panel. Submitted questions will be sent to the investor panel days before the event — this way, they’ll know what’s on the minds of their AMA audience.
During the AMA. We will start the conversation with curated crowdsourced questions followed by live audience questions — we will invite you to upvote questions posted in the Q&A box
