Please note that this event is intended for startup executives and entrepreneurs seeking funding. The VC Pitch Workshop was peppered with practical advice that I've been putting into practice since attending. In particular, walking through the 10 slide deck and understanding all of the opportunities to provide evidence to back up the business assumptions has changed my approach to writing a compelling presentation. Mike McGrath, CEO, Yosho The vast majority of startups never get the opportunity to pitch their idea to potential investors, so when you do get the chance you shouldnt throw it away by talking about the wrong things. So if youve not successfully raised venture capital before, attending this workshop is a must, to give you critical insights into what information VCs and Angels are looking for, and how they want it presented. Topics covered in this interactive workshop include: " Is my idea/business fundable? " The successful funding flow from idea to A round " The Top 10 Funding Pitch mistakes to avoid!
