How to Effectively Pitch Your Startup

​Iterative is hosting an event to empower founders with the knowledge they need to effectively pitch their startups.

​A good startup pitch is hard to come by — but it’s not the founder’s fault. Most founders have no idea what investors look for in a pitch due to a lack of transparency. And because of that, there’s a tendency for founders to cram as much information into a pitch as possible to cover all their bases.

​Join Hsu Ken Ooi, Co-founder and Managing Partner, as he shares what a good pitch structure looks like, why this structure is effective, and what investors are looking for.

​During this event, you’ll learn more about:

​🐣 Pitch Sequence – What should go into your pitch, in what order and why.

​🪝 The Hook – Learn how to craft a pitch so investors will remember your startup, be able to easily explain it to other investors and why that’s underrated.

​🎢 Story vs Traction – Is the story in your pitch or your traction more important to investors, how did it become a decade long debate between Brian and Hsu Ken and what they learned.

​🎶 Secure your spot now and let's get pitch perfect together! 🎶

​Format

​Hsu Ken will present on how to effectively pitch your startup in the first half, followed by audience Q&A.
