Let's hang!
As a founder, going through the fundraising process can be incredibly frustrating. It takes an amazing amount of time & effort to convince an investor to agree to talk to you.
And then, once you pitch your company, sometimes the investor never gets back to you. Or if they do get back to you, oftentimes their rejection doesn't explain WHY they're not interested.
All this can leave an entrepreneur feeling frustrated, dejected, & unsure of what can be done to improve in the future. We think this stinks.
That's why, on November 10, we're hosting a live pitch event for founders. And it's FREE to attend.
Here's how it'll work:
RSVP to the event & submit your pitch deck.
Up to 6 founders will be picked & have 2.5 minutes to pitch a panel of investors from Hustle Fund's Angel Squad.
The investors will ask follow-up questions & offer feedback to the founders.... just like in a real VC meeting!
By the end of this event, you'll have a deeper understanding of why investors decide to invest in a company (or not). And the winner takes home a prize
We'll leave some time at the end of the event for your questions... so come curious!
Who should come?
We designed this event for founders & investors.
If you're a founder looking to get feedback on your pitch, you'll love this. If you're a founder just looking to learn from other founders, we invite you to register without submitting your deck, & come enjoy the show! We promise you'll get some big takeaways.
If you're an investor looking to meet more founders, or just hoping to learn more about how to evaluate companies, you'll also get a lot out of Batter Up!
Take Note
This is an in-person event. There is no virtual option. You must be present, in-person, to be eligible to pitch.
Applications to pitch will close on Monday, Nov 3 at 5pm EST. If you have not submitted your deck by then, you will not be able to pitch.
Please be ready with your pitch in case you are selected.
