The Google Forms alternative for event registration.
Google Forms puts answers in a sheet. MyStartupValley Events is just as free and runs the event after the form: review, Event Pass, QR check-in and networking.
Updated by the MyStartupValley team.
Where Google Forms falls short for startup events.
No pass and no check-in
Answers land in a sheet. Tickets, QR check-in and reminders need other tools.
Sign-in appears when you need control
Adding a file upload or a one-response limit makes every respondent sign in to Google.
Review in a spreadsheet
Shortlisting means colouring rows. There is no accept flow and no status for the applicant.
