I've been attending the insanely addicting Keiretsu JumpStart forums for a few months now. The premise behind these events is to bring together tech entrepreneurs and angel investors in an educational capacity. There are a handful of presenters who have two minutes (YES - that's t w o stinking minutes) to pitch their start-up ideas to a panel of advisors, investors and c-levelers. Then the panel gets to ask questions, make comments and eventually vote on their presentation on a scale of 1-5. All very interesting for a nerd like me. But man, when I heard that they were doing a specific accelerator program for fashion tech companies, it blew my mind. Woo hoo! Super score!
Last night I went the premiere of Keiretsu's 'Ahead of the Fashion' program. They had the typical pitching session but the evening ended with a bomb diggity bang - three fashion shows! All the designers were extremely different and insanely talented. And although the clothes were truly amazing, the best part of my evening was watching the older Silicon Valley dudes jaws drop as the gorgeous models strutted their teeny tiny patooties around the room.
