AY16/17 Sem 2 Week 9: Speed Dating

This week, N-house Wicked Wednesday featured its signature event: Speed Dating.

In the unique N-house speed dating, start up teams get a chance to bounce of their ideas to a variety of ideas. In return, mentors provide them with valuable advices on possible next steps. When it comes to speed dating, speed is the key; through rapid fire sessions, teams get to validate their ideas in the least amount of time.
