On April 22, imec.istart and UGent TechTransfer are organizing an online matchmaking event for tech startup founders looking for a co-founder, and for those eager to join or work at a tech startup!

Program:

• 17:00 - 17:30 Welcome & Intro by imec.istart & UGent TechTransfer

• 17:30 - 19:30: Connect via 12-min. 1-on-1 video calls on the Conversation Starter platform (see how it works below).

60+ co-founders have already registered to join and meet with each other!

To ensure quality matchmaking:

- If there are no relevant matches to your specific profile, we will cancel your attendance and refund your ticket a few days before the event.

- We screen every ticket holder. We do not accept recruiters, agencies, brokers and similar profiles to join. In case of doubt, you will be contacted for a check. If your profile is not a fit your attendance will be cancelled and ticket fee will be refunded.

How Conversation Starter works

A few days before the event, participants get an invitation via email to fill in their networking profiles where they share with each other what people they would like to meet (requests) and the expertise they can share (offers).

• A day or two before the event there will be another email inviting participants to browse the requests and offers of each other and send meeting requests.

• When an invitation to meet is accepted, Conversation Starter finds the ideal time slot to meet.

• During the event, Conversation Starter provides built-in 12-minute video calls.
