About the Session

During our 'Pitch Perfect' live session we will select three to four dynamic entrepreneurs to showcase their startup pitches and receive real-time insights from our panel of prominent investors.

Founders will have time to present their business models, market strategies, and unique value propositions, to our panel of venture capitalists. Our VC guests will then give the founder live feedback to help refine their pitches and gain invaluable advice to elevate their businesses.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned investor, don’t miss this chance to witness the art of pitching and the power of feedback in action!

Learning Objectives

Enhance Pitch Clarity and Impact: Founders will learn to articulate their business model and value proposition more clearly, ensuring that key information resonates with potential investors.
Receive Constructive Feedback: Founders will engage with VC partners to receive targeted feedback on their pitch presentation style, content, and engagement strategies, enabling them to refine their approach for future pitches.
Understand Investor Expectations: Founders will gain insights into what venture capitalists prioritize when evaluating pitches, including market potential, scalability, and team dynamics, helping them align their presentations with investor interests.
