In an event like Web Summit where you are just two people among 70,000, it's definitely hard to stand out. After failing to talk to investors or find the right niche to network, I pitched to Jules that we should wear wedding dresses on one of the days to attract more attention.
On that same day our first investor who I met on Bumble networking (I'm married!) agreed to a meeting in the investor lounge.
Just imagine... his feeling when he picked us up at the front to let us in. He was now THAT guy who let the two girls wearing wedding dresses into the investor lounge. Let's just say he was a tad overwhelmed.
