Improving your Pitch – How to gain the attention of a VC in 30 minutes.

I spend my days listening to pitches from startups looking for investment. I have seen both good and bad and I often leave the first meeting thinking “that pitch would have been so much better if…”. I have also found that the most enjoyable part of this job as a VC is working with companies to improve their pitch.

Date + Time: Thursday @ 2:00p – 2:45p
