Pitch the Problem your startup tackles: Live Feedback by Mentors/Investors
Details
Your pitch has a problem you cannot hear. You have said it enough times that it sounds fine to you. Re-write your pitch to only explain the problem your startup solves. Leave out the tech/features. Tell our mentors and investors in less than 1 minute who has what problem, why? how costly/painful? how frequent? how do you get in front of them? how many are you already talking to or helping? In this session founders pitch the problem they address and get questions and structured feedback on the spot, and everyone else learns from watching someone else's mistake instead of making it. Bring a problem focused pitch at any stage, including one that is still only an idea. Register now and say it out loud to people who will tell you the truth.
❯ Featured Mentors include:
- Benjamin Chong (Partner, Right Click Capital)
- Neil Smith (Co-founder, CSO, Simple KYC)
- Paul Krajewski (Product Management professional, Co-Director Founder Institute Australia+NZ)
- Keith Forbes (Executive Leadership & Advisory, Concise Consulting)
