Perfecting The Pitch

Optimizing Your Funding Opportunities with Angel Investors and Venture Capital Firms

A FREE Comprehensive Tutorial for Funding Entrepreneurs that provides the tools necessary to create a successful pitch to investors. The multi-staged program conducted over the course of four to six weeks includes a Webinar, a one on one critique by a funding expert of each entrepreneur's investment slide presentation, and a videotaping of each entrepreneur's practiced 8 minute investment pitch, plus a free two year posting in NJEntrepreneur's Capital Connections - an online community connecting entrepreneurs and investors.

WEBINAR: a 45 minute tutorial entitled, "how to Make a Compelling Investor Pitch?" covers the critical elements necessary for a successful investor presentation. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of presenting the wrong information to an investor that fails to elicit their immediate interest to invest. Learn how to build your case to make a decision to invest compelling.
PRESENTATION CRITIQUE: In advance of videotaping, each Entrepreneur's slide presentation is reviewed by a funding expert with specific recommendations covering the venture model and presentation efficacy.
VIDEOTAPING: A taping of your 8 minute investment slide presentation that includes a professionally edited copy for personal use.
