Recap: All About The Money – Attracting Sponsors and Building Partnerships

Getting sponsors is perhaps one of the most daunting tasks a startup have to do, to scale their operations. Sponsors require your venture to be in its tip top shape. Those guys run one of the most thorough evaluations of a venture of its kind. So naturally, attracting a sponsor to your venture is hard, and it is even harder to maintain them.

IBOM LLC and partners delved into the discussion of how to get and keep a sponsor(s) on Tuesday, Sep. 27th. The event also served as a refresher course for those that think they got a good grip on how to get and maintain sponsors. The event’s discussion revolved around the following three main topics:

*Understanding how to create partnerships can make or break budgets

*Knowing what types of sponsors are needed can make or break brands

*Maintaining sponsor relationships can make or break businesses

The event brought together top fashion, tech, and consumer sponsors for a 2-hour Q&A interactive forum for the attendees.
