​Unf*ck Your Pitch - How to Avoid Founders' Biggest Mistakes Pitching on Stage

​A live prep session for anyone about to pitch investors on stage - built around the founders presenting at the UK x Belgium Embassy Demo Day this October.

​About this event

​Everyone who steps on stage to pitch has a different thing they worry about - for some it's simply not wanting to embarrass themselves, for others it's making sure a room full of investors lines up afterward to work with them.

​Either way, the fundamentals are the same, and most founders never get proper coaching on public speaking and presenting before they're standing in front of the people who could fund them.

​This session is a practical, no-fluff walkthrough of what actually makes a pitch land.

​We'll cover:

• ​How to prepare properly before you're on stage

• ​Why how you say something matters more than what you say - and how to actually develop that "how"

• ​How not to let slides sink an otherwise strong pitch

• ​How to handle the wave of questions that hits you right after a great pitch

​Who is this session for

​This session is open to everyone who is about to pitch their business, regardless of the level of their experience, but it's especially built for the founders pitching at the UK x Belgium Embassy Demo Day on October 6th in London.

​Format

​Online, 60 minutes, via Google Meet.
