Many things can go wrong with a startup, but a lack of product-market fit could be the main. Hub One, an innovation hub run by Leadspace by Passion Incubator and owned by First City Monument Bank (FCMB), will host the ultimate product pitch session as part of its ongoing efforts to help the startup ecosystem.
At this event, startup founders will meet tech-savvy and non-tech-savvy investors who will look at their products or apps and give them good feedback before they go on sale to the public.
During the event called LAUNCH by FCMB, which is a product pitch session, three different startups will (pre/re)launch their products.
The founders will talk about their products for 15 minutes each to an audience of product testers, tech fans, investors, and other important people in the tech ecosystem. They will talk about why their product exists, what it does, how well it’s been received so far, how big the market is and how much of it they can reach, how they plan to grow, and so on.
After the pitches, audience members can try out their products and ask questions. This will help the founders put a better product on the market geared toward the customer.
Here are the three startups that will pitch at LAUNCH by FCMB.
