Fifteen companies will have one minute to tell us about their products and services during the speed pitch portion of the meeting. Immediately after the elevator speeches, we will host an open meeting for one on one questions and networking with presenting companies.

To participate in the speech pitch portion of the meeting, you must register your company by sending us an email to: info @ bfs-usa.com. In the email tell us:

• company name

• what your company does

• who you are (include your phone number)

Please submit your requests by: Friday, August 14, 2015

Speed pitch competitions have become a popular format in the funding world of entrepreneurs and start-ups. Shark Tank and other shows make it look easy to present your company's value to investors or buyers in a few moments. However, it is not as easy as you think.

Here is your chance to practice your elevator speech and get immediate feedback. It is also a great opportunity to meet local business owners to partner with or find unique products and services to support your business growth.

Bonus offer: Sam Thacker (http://www.linkedin.com/in/smbfinance), an experienced Toast Master and business mentor, has offered to preview your elevator speeches - for free. If you want Sam's feedback prior to the Speed Pitch Meetup, include your elevator speech in the registration email. We'll call you and discuss the pitch over the phone and give you feedback on how to make the most of your one minute pitch.

This will be an exciting Meetup. Be sure to invite your colleagues to cheer you on and give you feedback.

Thanks,
