What we’re about
Welcome!
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you!
We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP. No judges, no winner, and no time-consuming feedback.
What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.
If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one of the founders in a breakout room to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees.
People have been able to start and advance their businesses as a result of this process.
We are meeting on Zoom, the link is here in the listing.
Agenda
Intros: During the first 10 minutes, we will give you the history, structure, and future plans of Startup Oasis and open signups for founders that want to pitch their startups.
Pitches: Each founder will then get up to 3 minutes to pitch their startup. This format is recommended: name, business, the problem, your solution, target customer base, and your biggest challenge/current need. This part is similar to Shark Tank.
Breakout Groups: For the remainder of the event, each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk to the founders in greater detail about their needs and challenges in a small group setting. This part is similar to a hackathon.
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
