? Celebrating Georgina Bowman's journey from overcoming stage fright to nailing #demoday. MYSHOOTS?? App journey through our program is an inspiration to us all! ?? #startupjourney
A year ago this weekend, I went out to #houstontexas with Softeq Venture Studio for the third time. Through this week, I’ll will post the memories and journey of that trip leading up to #demoday. Todays post is a summary of the October’22 week. When I suffered #stage fright big time. You will see how I worked on that over the next three months, when I share Demo Day pitches at the end of this week. My following on here has increased over the year and many of you won’t have seen the journey. Great memories were made through my time with Softeq Venture Studio. #angels #angelinvesting #angelinvestors
