- Remember The Dating Game?
The Startup Game Does for Entrepreneurs What The Dating Game Did for Lovers.
While the employment scene remains moribund, startup mania seems to be taking hold across the country. Everywhere you turn, someone's designing an app, starting a web site, a platform, a portal or some other whiziwhig. But how do you know if your idea will work? And more importantly, how do you meet an investor, much less seduce him (it's usually a him) into ponying up some cash? Where do all those VC's hang out anyway? Is there a Money Bar somewhere in the Financial District where they belly up for beer?
We have decided to repurpose the Dating Game concept for all you wannabe entrepreneurs out there. On our show, The Startup Game, we fix up a real live investor with potential "mates" (Startup CEOs). Check out the results of our first little love match and do let us know if you think it works.
Happy viewing!
