Program

Over the ten-week program, participants write their copy, build their decks, and practice both their 5-minute and 20-minute pitches multiple times.

Feedback received from the instructors, peers, and guest “executives” allow for adjustments and elevation along the way to make their final presentations pop and sparkle.

Upon completion participants will have the skills to successfully pitch their projects in person and virtually.

Vetted projects will be given the opportunity to pitch to executives and companies locally and at play in the international marketplace.

In addition, graduates will receive quarterly updates on industry events where they may pitch to additional professionals.
