ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP A great pitch tells investors and potential partners a story of how they can maximize an opportunity — it should also be founded on realistic assumptions. Once an innovator understands their market and in turn, understands the quality of their idea, they need to package that into a story which includes a viable strategy for expanding funding opportunities and attracting commercialization partners. The more believable and achievable an innovator's assumptions are, the more easily they will be able to de-risk the opportunity for their potential investor or customer. Join this workshop to learn how to: * Clearly articulate the problem you are solving * Identify differentiators given your competitive landscape * Develop critical assumptions to de-risk your business model CAN'T ATTEND IN PERSON?
