READY, SET... PITCH!
Forget what you’ve seen on reality TV. Pitching is something founders do everyday—to customers, potential partners, loan officers, and, yes, investors. Do you know how to effectively communicate your business proposition?
Our Pitch Practice and Demo Day series help rural founders craft a compelling narrative for their business… no matter who the audience!
Pitch Practice Series
Sharpen your brand story, refine your message, and deliver your pitch with clarity and impact. You will learn:
- The Intro: How to introduce yourself and your company
- The Problem: Defining the specific challenge you are solving
- The Solution: Explaining your business model and product
- The Market: Understanding your customer and market opportunity
- The Traction: Showcasing key milestones and your team
- The Ask: Perfecting what you need and why it matters
- The Delivery: Best practices for presenting with confidence
Demo Day Series
Pitch your business to a panel of business leaders and an audience of fellow founders. Participants have four minutes to deliver their pitch, followed by three minutes of questions and feedback from the judges.
Founders selected to pitch will compete for:
- Cash Awards
- In-Kind Support such as legal support, mentorship, and marketing packages
- Exposure to the broader Colorado startup community
Demo Days offer exposure and feedback without the pressure of a full pitch competition.
