Are you a first-time or novice small business owner or entrepreneur learning how to pitch, but pitching itself is, well, daunting? If so, Welcome to Chinatown’s “So You Think You Can Pitch Too” event is for you!
This is our second iteration of this event and we’re excited to welcome a whole new panel of speakers. Say goodbye to your fears of entrepreneur “soft skills” – from talking about yourself and securing funding to describing your vision and solidifying partnerships.
“So You Think You Can Pitch” is a learning and networking session that offers attendees the tools and resources they need to amplify their brand, whether it’s themselves or their company. The event will include a panel and Q&A, followed by a networking session. We are offering an opportunity for a few attendees to give a short pitch to the panelists and get direct, live feedback during the event!
