Afternoon Pitching Session in Philadelphia

Every CEO wants a chance to pitch their company to investors - and on Wed, Feb 16 you will get your chance!

 This unique session will show entrepreneurs exactly what to say when pitching to Venture & Angel investors.

  • Investors will show you how to give a great pitch.
  • Then you get to pitch to the panel of Investors!
  • 7 Investors on the panel, only 30 CEOs in the room!

    Every entrepreneur is enthusiastic about their company, but when it comes to giving a pitch to investors, they don't often give the right information: Whether its focusing too heavily on the 'nuts & bolts' of your company (never telling them why a customer needs you), or just leaving out key facts (how much you are raising and why).

    This panel of Angel Investors and Venture capitalists will help you fine tune your pitch and tell you exactly what to say to get investors interested in your company - and to put you on a path to a check. It's all about first impressions and you only get one shot to impress an investor.

    After the above Investor panel - Every entrepreneur in the room will get 2 minutes to pitch to all of the Investors. The investors will also "grade" / critique each CEO in writing.

    This event is limited to only 30 CEOs. This is the best Investor/Entrepreneur ratio in the market! Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis and will sell out early - so register today! (There will be No walk-ins). The event price will increase by $75 on Feb. 11.

    Additionally, your quarter page summary with your contact information will be given to every investor in both the Morning and Afternoon sessions.

    Note: Only CEOs of companies currently raising capital are allowed to pitch at this event.
