FAQ

I run a startup business and would like to sign up for Speed Dating, how should I apply?

  1. Please download the company profile form, and upload it to https://goo.gl/62buvt along with BP: (Filename: Chinese and English company’s name_BP, please present your BP with slides (Only PPT/PDF format are acceptable and the length should be within 20-25 pages.)

  2. For the content of BP, please refer to BP guidelines.

What is the selection process? When will the result be announced?

  1. Assessment of application will be made by the group of consultants, and the assessment process for all submissions begins immediately after each submission. The consultants group will provide their advices for the applicants.

  2. The organizer will notify teams that are selected through e-mail on August 11, 2017. 

After being selected, how many investors/investment companies can I meet up with?

  1. Investors and startups will receive a handbook with both sides’ profiles by August 11.

  2. Startups can have conversations with 5 investment companies/ investors at least.

  3. When filling out the matchup form, please select more than 5 investment companies/ investors that you’re interested in to ensure a more ideal matchup result.

  4. Please send the matchup form back to the organizer before 6pm, August 16.

  5. Please be noted that once the matchup form is sent, no change is allowed to be made.

After filling in the matchup form, how will the matchup be arranged? 

  1. On receiving matchup forms from investors and startups, the organizer will arrange matchups based on the preference of both sides. The organizer will first prioritize matchups that both the investor and the startup are interested in having conversation with each other, and then consider the preference of investors as well as startups.

  2. If a startup fail to complete matchup form before deadline or selected less than 5 investment companies/ investors, the organizer will arrange matchup based on the startup’s business characteristics, investor’s preference, and investor’s profile (e.g. fields of investment, investment stage…etc).

When will the matchup results be announced? 

The matchup results will be sent on August 26 via e-mail, so please check your mailbox frequently! Each startup can have conversation with at least 5 investment companies/ investors, and each conversation lasts for 10 minutes. 

Will we have matchups with the investors exactly the same as that we filled in on the matchup form? 

Not necessarily. The preference of investors is very likely to be different from that of startups; therefore, the organizer will serve as the mediator to help balance two sides’ preferences.

10 minute is just too short; is there any other chance for further interaction?

There will be a 90-minute break for exchange after Speed Dating, startup teams can interact with investment institutions/ investors that they’re interested in but didn’t get the chance to match up with during this break.
