The Honestly.com Matchmaker Competition
November 22nd - January 1st
How it works:
Honestly.com profile owners will compete to be matched with some of the biggest names in VC and entrepreneurship. "Top Rated Profile" Award Holders with the greatest number of high quality reviews will win a one-on-one session with their choice of Matches. Take this opportunity to pitch your big idea, ask questions, or just chat.
How to join the competition:
1. Get the conversation going. Ask the people who know you best to review you via Facebook and Gmail, and share your profile.
2. Earn badges. Climb the ranks to "Best in Class" by increasing the number of high quality reviews on your profile.
You'll get your first "Solid" badge with just 5 reviews and an average star rating of 4 or above.
3. Get matched. The profiles with the greatest number of high quality reviews will be selected to meet with the match of their choice.
