Pitch Training Goal:

To learn how to develop the perfect business elevator pitch to any potential investor.

We will use a combination of fun ice-breaker activities and lecture-style training to prepare you or your team for a mock pitch at the end of the session. Mock pitches will be closed door, in front of a small panel of 3 judges. Judges will provide each business with feedback to be used when they present at Spark! Tank.

If you cannot attend either pitch training below you will find a few links to help you prepare and visualized your 3 minute elevator pitches:
