How to Pitch Investors? Presentation Skills Training with Certificate

When looking for private investment which is more important – your business plan or your pitch? The answer, of course, is both. Being great at the elevator pitch is not much use if you can’t back it up with a real understanding of your business financials; and no weight of business plan ever caught the eye of a busy angel investor.

This training program will help participants move from business plan to investment pitch. It considers venture investing from both the point of view of the investor and also the business owner. This unique approach ensures that expectations on all sides are considered in advance and responded to. Participants will learn about cases on pitching investors; what venture investors are really looking for; that there are both angels and demons out there; skill set on presentation to investors.
