FIRST EVENT OF 2024 ALERT 🚨

What goes into a good fundraising pitch? And where can you test your pitch out in a safe, friendly space?

On Tuesday 30th January, Dr. Nettra Pan, Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at Bayes Business School, will go over the different pitches to expect as a founder of a social impact startup and provide space for you to pitch and receive feedback from the group.
Whilst a pitch's format will depend on your venture’s needs, stage of development, industry, and social impact focus, there are still some essentials founders should remember when pitching your venture to potential investors, partners, and recruits. If you’re in the early stages of your start-up journey, join us to brush up on the essentials of a good start-up pitch!
