September 2026 - Pitch Training (ERIN)
A great pitch isn’t just about having a great idea—it’s about communicating it clearly, confidently and in a way that connects with your audience.
Join entrepreneur and experienced pitch coach Colin Christensen for an interactive workshop designed to help founders strengthen their storytelling, sharpen their messaging and improve the way they communicate their business.
During this hands-on session, Colin will cover:
What belongs in your pitch—and what you can leave out
How to communicate your business clearly and succinctly
How to present with confidence and purpose
The two things every investor wants to hear
How to adapt your pitch when speaking with investors, customers and partners
This won’t be a sit-and-listen workshop. Come prepared to participate, practice and receive real-time feedback that you can immediately apply to your own pitch.
Whether you’re preparing for an investor meeting, an upcoming pitch competition, or simply want to get better at explaining what you do and why it matters, this session will give you practical tools to make your pitch stronger.
