(Not a member? Join us now and we’ll include you in the next round of pitch workshops!)
Blood, sweat, and tears were just the beginning. Now, you have to tell your story and sell someone on your startup.
You only have a few minutes to get an investor’s attention and convey the essence of your business concisely and convincingly. Don’t let a few words (or lengthy ones) trip you up. Join us for this intimate, hands-on, peer and expert pitch practice workshop to get polished and ready to talk to investors about your business.
We’ll give you the lowdown on what to include in a three-minute version of your pitch.
Then you will have the opportunity to practice your pitch in front of the group and get real-time feedback from experts from SVB, pitch Coach Stuart Paap and fellow entrepreneurs. (So BYO Laptop with pitch deck ready to go!)
You will leave with a better rehearsed story about your company that would make anyone, especially investors, want to hear more.
