Pitching 101: From Idea to Investor-Ready Pitch [Webinar]

​A free webinar for founders who want to pitch with clarity — not just confidence.

​

​About This Webinar

​Most founders think a great pitch is about having a great idea.

​It's not. It's about telling the right story, to the right investor, at the right stage — with the right evidence to back it up.

​A weak pitch doesn't just lose the room. It leaves investors with the wrong impression of a business that might actually be fundable.

​This session fixes that.

​Pitching 101 is a free, live webinar that breaks down exactly what goes into a pitch that works — from the hook that catches attention in the first 30 seconds, to the slide-by-slide structure that guides investors toward a yes.

​Speaker:

​Bikesh Lakhmichand
CEO & Founding Partner, 1337 Ventures

​Bikesh has spent over a decade building Malaysia's early-stage startup ecosystem — from founding iTrain Malaysia to 1337 Ventures and pioneering the country's first accelerator programme Alpha Startups, to launching Leet Capital, Malaysia's SC-licensed equity crowdfunding platform. He's worked with 6,000+ founders across Southeast Asia and has sat on both sides of the table as investor, mentor, and operator.

​He's seen thousands of pitches. This is what he wishes founders knew before walking into the room.

​Key Takeaways:

• ​How to craft a hook that grabs an investor's attention in the first 30 seconds

• ​The slide-by-slide anatomy of a winning pitch deck — and what each slide actually needs to do

• ​How to pitch at your stage: what early-stage investors want to see vs. what growth-stage investors focus on

• ​The difference between a pitch that informs and a pitch that converts — and how to build the latter

• ​The most common pitching mistakes founders make, and how to avoid them

​Who Should Attend:

​This webinar is built for:

• ​First-time founders preparing for their first investor conversation

• ​Founders who've pitched before but keep getting "not right now" without knowing why

• ​Students or aspiring entrepreneurs who want to understand how startup pitching works

• ​SME owners exploring how to present their business to investors or ECF platforms

• ​Anyone building a pitch deck and not sure if it's actually working
