“For an entrepreneur, life’s a pitch!” says Guy Kawasaki (Garage Ventures). Pitch season is here. Do you have a venture you want to pitch to potential investors? This September 6 and 13 workshop is for you. Learn the secrets of successful pitching from Pam Stevenson, the BVC Pitch Coach for the past 12 years. The start-up and early stage workshop will focus on preparing entrepreneurs for Upstart Day, Pub Talk and the Bend Venture Conference. The growth stage & social impact workshop will focus on preparing entrepreneurs for Bend Venture Conference or pitching to Cascade Angels, Seven Peaks Ventures or other angel or venture capital funds or conferences.
Only about one out of every ten pitches to angels gets funded. How do you increase your odds and make sure you are the one? A Power Pitch grabs attention, tells a compelling story and seals the deal with Wow! Factor. In this engaging workshop, you will learn how to develop and deliver a pitch that is irresistible to investors.
You will learn:
* The SMART Framework-assess and optimize your underlying business opportunity
* The Anatomy of an Angel- know your audience
* The Power Pitch Canvas- the key elements of a winning investor pitch
* How to add Wow! Factor to any presentation
* The Fundability Formula for an investor-ready entrepreneur
These interactive workshops will incorporate hands-on exercises and practice with real pitches. Entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to work on their pitch, receive feedback and walk out with the ingredients for their own Power Pitch.
