You have the idea. You have the people, and you may even have the product. So now how do you effectively pitch it?  

Come to this workshop with Michael Tucker and find out what investors want to hear when you pitch your business plan to them. Join us tomorrow in the Commons room 318 on Wednesday, February 22 between 12-1 pm. This is a great opportunity for students interested in entering the CBIC this spring!  

Based on his experience helping companies raise their first round of capital, Michael will discuss how best to pitch potential investors. He'll outline the various traction companies typically need to raise money, who early stage investors typically are (the importance of knowing your audience), and the necessary items needed to include in your pitch.  He'll also go over example pitch decks from companies that have successfully raised money.

This talk will be particularly helpful for students interested in entering the Cangialosi Business Innovation Competition this spring.  Michael will emphasize the key criteria the judges will be evaluating in the competition.  Don't miss this one!!!
