Listen "S17E2: How To Win Pitch Competitions With Roomii Founder Dapo Kolawole"
Episode Synopsis
2 times a month in the Startup Hypeman newsletter we share a list of upcoming pitch competitions taking place. Why? Because pitch competitions are a great way to fund your startup in the early days — if you can win. No one understands how to execute this better than Dapo Kolawole. He came to me a few years ago when his first startup, Citispoon, was getting off the ground. We worked on his pitch and shortly after I was receiving almost weekly updates from Dapo telling me he won another competition. Now on his second startup, Roomii, Dapo has amassed over $170,000 in total winnings across both companies. He steps to the mic in this week's episode to share his lessons learned and best advice on how to win.Dapo's contact info:Twitter :@dakola07Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dapokolawole/Instagram: dapo.kolawoleThis week's episode is sponsored by Oribi — a marketing analytics tool that shows you what your website visitors actually do while on your site, without using any code.
