Pitch Practice
Whether an entrepreneur is pitching an investor, customer, or other stakeholder, these sessions provide valuable feedback from experienced pitch coaches, former CEO's, investors, and mentors. We have selected mentors from our pool who have relevant experience assessing start-up companies and organizations. We will select the appropriate mentors based on who signs up and what kind of pitch you want to practice.
Each session is 1 hour and includes 3-4 mentors giving their undivided attention to one entrepreneur or company.
You can practice whatever pitch you want: elevator pitch, customer pitch, 20 minute investor pitch, 2 minute investor intro... If we have time, you can practice more than one! We highly recommend that you attend one of these sessions if you are going to pitch potential clients or investors. We will be brutally honest about whether we think you are ready.
This event is an on-demand event for BioCenter Internal Clients only.
