Alliance of Angels 10 Minute Pitch Clinic - June 12, 2007

Wed, 09 May 2007 21:52:44 GMT

Raising capital from Angel investors can be both challenging and intimidating. It is a strenuous process to condense your entire business plan down into a 10 minute presentation. What information is critical? What are investors looking for? How can I possibly fit it all in?

Since 1999, the Program Managers at the Alliance of Angels have been helping entrepreneurs navigate this uncertain path. We have seen the presentations that resonate with angel investors and have gathered that knowledge into a set of best practices to share with you. Instead of learning these lessons the hard way, when you’re in front of angels asking for money, consider attending our clinic first to get the inside information you need now.

This workshop format will be divided into two parts. First, we will give an overview of the Alliance of Angels and discuss the components of a good 10 minute pitch. Afterwards, we will work directly with the audience members on your specific start-up messaging. Space is limited to 20 attendees so reserve your spot today. The price to attend is $50 per person with advanced registration, or $75 at the door.
