Startup events: what to do when you have ambitions but no startup idea

Sergey Nikonenko
COO at Purrweb

Each startup first and foremost is an idea. Not necessarily a unique one, but that doesn't mean it can't work and you can’t realize your business ambitions. If your product is high-quality developed, user-friendly, and has a mindful interface — you are almost a winner! Almost...

Young startuppers might face challenges like finding the money for project realization and choosing contractors. Investors can help with the money issue. How you will present your idea to them will define how successful your startup will be in the future. Or will your startup even exist?

Investors would be interested in the idea, but quality development and great UI/UX design can convince them to put their money into your product. Software development for startups is a job for experienced and skilled fellas like Purrweb team 😉

To present your idea the best way, you should choose an MVP (or minimum viable product) approach. This is the first version of the product that shows users the main functionality of the app as if Uber were just a service to connect the driver and the client (which, by the way, was in the very beginning).

In our article, we would like to tell you about startup events as one of the methods to attract people to your project. At a startup event, you can present your product to investors, learn more about other startups, gain knowledge from more experienced guys, or share your expertise. Your background and goals determine what you will get from a startup event.

These events usually involve entrepreneurs, guys already developing something, marketers, managers, and — the coolest thing — business angels and venture capitalists. If they think your idea is worth it, these guys can sponsor your project in the early stages.

startup events — investors can give me money

Let’s take a closer look at why business events are good and what young entrepreneurs can do there:

Meet new people

Startup events help build useful connections: investors, business partners, and just those who can help with advice. Having earned a reputation in the eyes of some people, the whole community will treat you like a professional. These events will give you the opportunity to meet people with common interests and to see competitors.

Be trendy

Industry events keep you updated on what’s new and exciting. You will have the opportunity to learn about these trends as soon as they appear. As an entrepreneur, you want your company to stay relevant. You need to offer users something new or improve an existing solution, and such events will help you stay in trend.
