BizPartner organized the first evening networking event called Hang The Jam earlier in the month. It was a platform for working people and business owners to network and get to know one another, rather than join the traffic jam after office hours.
The second event called Hang The Jam @ Damansara Uptown #2 was organized on 23rd May 2014. It was done only one week after the first event in order to validate whether people from around the area would join the event or not.
Unlike the first event which attracted 15 people, this time we only managed to get 7 participants. We almost did not promote the event online, but relied on event flyers distributed to people in the area in order to test their response.
Despite small turnout, the event was still carried out as usual. Each of us shared our business or ourselves for a few minutes, followed by each voting for other members whom they want to connect to.
Richard Kok received the highest number of votes and hence was selected as the pitch winner. He further elaborated on his startup business on building a logistic marketplace.
Pitch ‘n’ Validate FOOD?
After the event, the restaurant owner Yugin Lee took the opportunity to ask for feedback and validate a new delicious dish he has designed with the group.
The mingling around took quite a while, including validating the new dish together!
