How to Pitch a Business Idea

Join us for a free-of-charge practical workshop on how to pitch a business idea. You'll discover how to structure a powerful 5-minute business pitch
and how to deliver it.

You will learn:

• How to sound confident and manage nervousness
• How to use pauses, pace, tone and volume
• How to use eye contact and body language
• How to connect with your audience rather than simply talk at them

The workshop uses practical exercises and examples, including a sample startup pitch, so you'll have the opportunity to practice rather than just listen.

This workshop is ideal for:

• Startup founders
• Entrepreneurs
• People developing a new business idea
• Professionals who need to present a business idea to investors, partners, or clients

If you have a startup or business idea, bring it with you.
You'll be able to use it during the exercises and start thinking about how to turn it into a clear, structured 5-minute pitch. Come with an idea. Leave with a clearer story, stronger pitch, and more confidence to deliver it.
