Pitch Perfect at Dayton Startup Week
May 30, 2017
No, you won’t get to meet Anna Kendrick. And there won’t be any acapella groups or karoake nights.
This is so much better.
Startups live and die by their ability to pitch for funding or sales. Locking down that first customer or investor is all about your ability to sell what you are developing.
During Dayton Startup Week you will get plenty of opportunities to develop your pitch and hear from those who have done it before.
Make sure you register before time runs out!
