How will TechJuice gamify the networking experience?

To make sure, every participant gets time to interact with the maximum number of mentors and fellow founders, TechJuice is taking the approach of gamification. In a 40-minutes-cycle, mentors will be assigned a group of four to six startups with two founders each.
During this cycle, startup founders will do a round of introductions and share the challenges they are focusing to solve. The mentors will listen and advise the founders to set the right direction or help them access relevant professionals.
