Partnering for RESI Partnering Week, taking place September 13-17, launches Monday, giving companies a chance to connect with investors. The LSN Partnering Platform offers startups an unprecedented opportunity to search for and identify investors that are a fit for them based on sector, stage of development and other helpful criteria. Successful partnering takes a lot of work, and the companies that book the most meetings send, on average, over 100 meeting requests to relevant investors, followed by frequent follow-ups. We will be offering free partnering tutorials for registered attendees in the weeks before the conference takes place. Take a look at the registered investors below, and make sure to register now before partnering launches!
