Startup Founder Pitching Workshop
Date:
Thu, Mar 5th, 2020Time:
12:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Description:
One of the most difficult skills to master, no matter how brilliant the entrepreneur, is the ability to communicate effectively to an audience the essentials of the company’s existence.
Every stakeholder, from customer to investor to employee, needs to be captivated by you and your company.
The quality of your pitch is what lands meetings with potential clients and investors. It generates new opportunities. It’s can also be the difference maker in landing amazing talent to join your team.
coLab is proud to present this workshop on how to construct and then deliver a “demo day” style presentation.
The “demo day pitch” is the most audience-centric pitch of your startup you’ll ever give. If you’re lucky, it’s to a room full of investors. Luckier still, you’re on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt getting both funding AND PR.
A demo day pitch is different from other pitches for several reasons:
Your audience isn’t opening an investor ppt in their inbox, they’re buying a ticket to a performance.
The pitch deck augments the story, not the other way around, and should be graphically complementary rather than descriptive.
The goal is to inspire the audience to seek you out after the show, excited to know more. The goal is to get a meeting; anything more and your only handing your audience ammunition with which to shoot holes.
The demo day pitch is used by world-renowned accelerators such as YCombinator, TechStars, 500 Startups and Chinaccelerator, as the finale showcase of each batch.
