Pitching Panel

The IAM pitching panel is a great opportunity and chance to pitch your invention first-hand to our renowned pitching panel and inventor club. Registration for the pitching panel is for those who want to pitch their invention.

A few things:

• We charge a nominal $50 fee, which is a tax-deductible donation to our non-profit group. We do so in order to cover costs associated with organizing the event. So please purchase your spot ASAP.

• We want to make sure you understand that you will be making a "public disclosure" of your invention. Therefore, your invention should be either patent-pending or patented. Please contact your patent agent/attorney to make sure this pitching panel is safe for you. Neither the IAM nor Troutman Sanders (our location host) can be held responsible for any disclosures you make.

• If you are ready to pitch, you will get 15 minutes in front of the panel of experts. We suggest you limit your pitch to 2 minutes, so you can enjoy 13 minutes of valuable feedback from our experts and audience. In those 2 minutes, practice answering the following questions as succinctly as possible (30 seconds each):

What have you invented?
How does it work? (demo)
Who will it appeal to?
Why do you think it is a good business opportunity?

This promises to be a great opportunity. If you have any questions, please email us at manhattan.inventors@gmail.com.
