Program Description:

BUILD A COMPELLING PITCH DECK

The first steps for your startup are clear: You have an idea, you are founding your company, you are building your product and you need a pitch deck. Why is a pitch important? As long as you want to gain customers, expand awareness of your business, raise funding or convince business partners to work with you, a pitch deck is essential. It gives investors and customers insight into your business. Even huge companies like Facebook and Google started with a pitch deck. Your pitch is the heart of all of your messaging and conversations about your brand.

In this 2-hour workshop put on by Venture Cafe New England at the Roxbury Innovation Center, you will learn exactly what you need communicate about yourself and your business, by constructing a comprehensive and compelling pitch for your idea or small business! This workshop is designed to teach early stage entrepreneurs and business owners how to properly organize a pitch to obtain grant and investor funding.

In addition, if you are interested in applying for the opportunity to pitch your business for prize funding, please go to this web address: www.roxburypitchnight.com to apply for Roxbury Pitch Night.
