Startups: How to Pitch Your Story
Details
Tomer Kagan, Quixey's founder and CEO, and the man who raised a total of 75M$ for Quixey will share with us his insights on how to pitch to a VC in an interactive session.
18:00 Gathering, Networking, snacks and beer
18:30 Short introduction to Quixey and to our new global developer program by Gary Lieu
18:40 Tomer's talk
Tomer has given this talk several times this year, mostly in the US and the Silicon Valley. Usually the audience is so excited that they stay late after the talk asking questions.
-
The talk is interactive - Tomer asks the audience to participate by suggesting random ideas for a product. Then, he turns those ideas into pitches that can be taken to a VC meeting. He can make mango peeler sound like the next big thing.
-
One of Tomer's recommendations is to create a market for your idea and figure out where your advantage in that market lies. Don't sell ice to the eskimo; segment your market, prove that your product has a potential!
-
The second part of Tomer's talk is dedicated to "bridging" - a technique that helps you answer any question, stay in control of the interview, and get your messaging across.
For us this is going to be a unique opportunity to hear Tomer's talk for the first time here in Israel.
