EVENT DETAILS |
Orrick is teaming up with Dreamers // Doers (www.dreamersdoers.me) for their annual elevator pitch workshop --- and would love for you to join!
The elevator pitch can make or break your chances for a follow-up engagement with an investor. It's the first impression so it's important to make it count.
If interested participating, details and information on how to apply are below.
Details:
You will be broken up into groups and placed in a room with 10-15 other entrepreneurs (numbers depend on applicants received) and one investor.
Each company will need to present their elevator pitch in 30 seconds or less. The investor will provide feedback immediately following the pitch.
You will not be able to use or bring anything with you. Just you and your elevator pitch that's stored in your brain.
As space and time is limited, only one member of your team is allowed pitch and sit in the breakout rooms.
When everyone in the room has pitched, you will all re-group and each investor will choose their top finalists.
The selected finalists will have 5-10 minutes to make adjustments to their pitches by incorporating the feedback they previously received.
When time is up, the selected finalists will all be brought back into the main room and present in the final pitch off (all companies, even those that were not among the selected finalists, are encouraged to stay and listen).
Here are some best practices as you think about constructing your elevator pitch (or making it even better than it already is).
Space is limited. Please make sure to read the directions below on how to participate.
