ABOUT #PITCHITYORK
#PitchIt is an entrepreneur-led, grassroots event that provides startups with a platform to market their product or service, drive brand awareness (PR!), and practice their funding pitch. Launched in Toronto in Fall 2016, PitchIt has 500+ members to date and the aim is to foster community support and help entrepreneurs secure investments, attract talent, and polish their presentation skills. Above all else it's the perfect venue for all attendees to network!
#PitchIt has been running in Toronto and Durham for a while, and you can find out more on YouTube. Also, here's the link to the #PitchItTO Meetups in Toronto.
What should I expect at #PitchIt?
4 startups who are on the funding trail will pitch their companies to the audience. There will be several advisors (not "judges" since this isn't a competition) who will ask questions - but the audience will also have the chance to ask questions.
The companies will have 11 minutes to pitch, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. After the 4 pitches are done, you'll have a chance to meet the entrepreneurs and others, as we open the session up for networking. More specifically, here's the agenda:
> 5:30 Start and networking
> 5:45pm Pitches: Each of the 4 pitches is 11 minutes (hard stop), followed by 5 minutes of questions from the advisors, and 3 minutes of questions from the audience.
> 7pm Wrap and networking
> 7:30pm End
