Penn West Startup Pitch Practice: Get Live Feedback From Investors

Your pitch has a problem you cannot hear. You have said it enough times that it sounds fine to you. Mentors hear it in the first ninety seconds. In this session founders pitch live and get structured feedback on the spot, and everyone else learns from watching someone else's mistake instead of making it. Bring a 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.

❯ Guest Speakers include:

• Guc Ozenci (Program Director, FI Washington DC)
• Jonathan Greechan (Co-Founder & CIO, Founder Institute, GP Founder Capital)

❯ What You'll Learn:

• How to open a pitch so the listener knows what you do in one sentence;
• The structure investors expect and the order they expect it in;
• How to talk about traction when you do not have any yet;
• The most common mistake in pitches at this stage, and the fix;
• How to handle the question you were hoping nobody would ask.

❯ Who Should Attend:

• Founders preparing to pitch investors, mentors, or an accelerator;
• Idea-stage founders who have never said their idea out loud to strangers;
• Anyone who has pitched and could not tell why it did not land;
• Founders who want to learn by watching others get feedback.
