We’re having our next Chengdu Entrepenurship Meetup at the beer nest on Wednesday June 18th starting at 7:30pm.
This month we will be having a Startup Weekend pre event called “Pitch Bootcamp”
Come on out and learn how to pitch your business ideas and communicate effectively in 60 seconds or less.
First, we’ll go over the basics of a persuasive business “pitch.” We’ll look at some examples, contexts and situations where you might need to pitch your product, idea or business proposals. We’ll briefly talk about the format for pitch fire at Startup Weekend. Then, we’ll then talk about some best practices and tips for pitching your idea.
Finally, we’re going to do an interactive game in order practice pitching. As usual, we’ll reserve the last 10 minutes for anyone who wants to pitch their latest company, idea or project.
This should be an exciting event and look forward to seeing you there!
