Startup Patron and Starving Startup program is back @startupfest!

After much success last year, we’ve decided to bring back the Startup Patron and Starving Startup program! Keep reading to see what this program is all about:

STARTUP PATRON and STARVING STARTUP PROGRAM

A Startup Patron is a person who is doing their part to support the startup community. While we’ve made the registration fee as inexpensive as possible, not all startups are in a position to be able to afford this fee. And because this event is about startups, we want to give each one as much chance as possible to attend. Thus, we created a ticket for the event we are calling “Startup Patron” tickets. For every Patron ticket sold we will give two passes, one for the Patron and one for a “Starving Startup”. Patrons will be matched with the Startups they sponsor, they will be recognized on the website as a Patron, and they will be mentioned at the event. And let’s face it; you know what it’s like to need a mentor/patron so this is your chance to do good!
