Pitch Training with Jason Bacon

This pitch training is a practical, two‑night virtual workshop for founders and innovators preparing for the RIN Pitch Up event. Across two 2‑hour Zoom sessions, you’ll sharpen your story (problem, solution, market, traction, ask), structure a clear pitch and deck and practice delivery in small groups. You’ll receive targeted, real‑time feedback from peers and the facilitator, build confidence for Q&A, and leave with a refined script and slide outline. Open to all stages; bring a draft deck if you have one (optional). Format: live coaching, breakout practice, and peer feedback.
