Pitching is one of the most important skills a founder develops, yet it's rarely practiced in a setting where you can iterate in real time.

In this interactive workshop, founders will present their pitch, receive direct feedback, & immediately refine it live. This is a hands-on pitch masterclass where builders learn by doing, & by watching other founders sharpen their story.

Come have a sales pitch, demo pitch, or even a VC pitch!

Special Guest: Anthony Rose
Anthony Rose is a pioneering technology entrepreneur best known as the co-creator & former CTO of the BBC iPlayer, one of the world's first large-scale streaming platforms that fundamentally changed how millions consume television.

He has spent decades building technology at the intersection of consumer platforms, developer ecosystems, & emerging tech. His experience spans founding companies, leading engineering teams, & scaling global products.

For founders, few people have a better perspective on how to communicate complex technology simply & convincingly. In this session, Anthony will work directly with founders in a live pitch lab, helping them sharpen their narrative & strengthen how they present their ideas.

Ben Schwartz
Ben is the Cofounder & CEO of Tavern Community. Tavern is a private membership community of 100+ founders, investors, & ecosystem builders, & provides access to a caring & ambitious community, premium events, & a variety of coworking & social spaces, including an exclusive 24-hour workspace in midtown.
