How to promote your Start Up to investors and to be visible in the market?

If there were some simple rules on how to pitch successfully to investors, as a startup entrepreneur the first and foremost choice would be to attend events and create a presence in the market. Burt Hammer, founder and CEO of Hydrovolts who is creating a lot of buzz had attended numerous events and won plenty of awards. It would be ideal if every new entrepreneur can attend as many events as possible to promote their startups. We tried to gather as many details as possible regarding startup events and meetups; we hope this helps.
