You will not only benefit from direct feedback but also learn from others, as many startups face common challenges in crafting effective pitches.

How It Works:

• Pre-Workshop Introduction: Start with a video and a detailed document that outlines the essential elements of a successful pitch. This tried-and-tested framework will give you the foundation to craft a pitch that resonates.
• Online Session 1 (Wed Nov 6th, 2024, 14:00 CET): You and other participating startups will deliver your current pitches and receive immediate feedback, guidance, and actionable insights to elevate your presentation. The group setting ensures you learn not only from your feedback but also from the mistakes and strengths of others.
• Online Session 2 (Mon Nov 11th, 2024, 14:00 CET): After refining your pitch, we’ll review the updated version and ensure it’s polished to perfection, while continuing to learn from the feedback given to others.
• Optional Extra Sessions: Add more live sessions if needed to continue fine-tuning and perfecting your pitch.
