PitchCamp | 🔥 Pitching 301: Advanced Storytelling & Strategy

Win Hearts and Capital: Turn Data Into Drama and Strategy Into Story

When the stakes are high, storytelling is your secret weapon. Pitching 301 takes you beyond slides and spreadsheets into the art of narrative — how to shape timing, tension, and tone to persuade investors, partners, or anyone with decision power.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Set up your “seagulls” — visuals and reveals with purpose
• Structure a pitch like a story, not a slide deck
• Address concerns before they’re spoken
• Show results that speak louder than résumés
• Frame your ask around risk reduction — not just funding

You’ll leave ready to pitch with presence, persuasion, and a story that moves money and minds.

PitchCamp: Make Your Story Land.

You’ve got the idea. You’ve done the work. But when you explain it, eyes glaze over.

Not because your idea is weak—because the story isn't landing yet. PitchCamp is where that changes.

PitchCamp is Innovate413’s 4-week series designed to help founders turn their ideas into stories that land. Each session — from Pitching 201 to Angel Investors 101 — builds practical skills to move you from first draft to confident pitch.

This no-cost, four-session, in-person workshop (starting 11/12 in Northampton) is designed to help you tell your story so clearly and boldly that mentors, funders, and customers lean in.

Our Pitching Series is now part of PitchCamp — Innovate413’s 4-week founder bootcamp for building a pitch that lands. Join us for PitchCamp | PitchCamp | Inside the Investor’s Room, Part I: Beginners on December 3.

About Innovate413

We are here with one clear mission: reignite economic growth in the Pioneer Valley by launching the large employers of tomorrow and reinvigorating the employers of today. Innovate413 will serve as the central hub connecting founders, mentors, funders, and institutional partners.

This region has the core ingredients for sustained growth: deep talent, world-class research, a diverse economy, and a community of leaders who’ve spent the last decade showing up—mentoring, advising, and championing entrepreneurs. What’s been missing is the structure to bring those assets together.
Innovate413 is that structure.
