Last
year in the Google for Entrepreneurs conference space in Krakow,
NorthStar Consulting and Google organized the first iteration of
Pitch. The goal was to help registered startups with their pitch to
investors. The startups were educated in the art of acting, public
speaking, drafting a sales talk, and understanding what is going on
in an investor's head while they are being pitched to. It was
through this program where we met Flowbox, Mavenpad, WhenVisited,
Mofables, and Arios.
This
year they are launching their Pitch workshops again. This year the
workshops will be held on November 14 and 15, 2014 at the KPT campus
on ul.
Życzkowskiego 14,
Kraków.
During the workshops, the teams will be mentored by some of the best
in the business.
The
teams will be focusing on:
- Developing an effective elevator pitch
- How to prepare awesome presentations
- How to schedule a presentation
- Best way to negotiate price
- Building a product image
When
a startup leaves this set of workshops, they will have, in their
hand, a sales maual of how to pitch to clients.
Przemek
Stanisz the organizer says that startups die because of the lack of
knowledge of effective sales strategies. He believes that the
workshop will adress this need to its core. What they are looking
for are startups with an existing product, whereby the team and
implement the knowledge they gained the next day. He believes that
the knowledge is best used when it is fresh in your mind. Basically,
strike while the iron is hot.
You can
apply to participate in the program here (in Polish).
