WHERE STARTUPS COME TO GROW

  • If you’re looking to pitch to investors and perfect your pitch in the process… you’ve come to the right place!

How does it work?

  • 6 startups will be selected to pitch

  • Each company will do a tightly timed 4-minute presentation with slides

  • Each presentation will be followed by 4 minutes of q/a with the investor panelists

  • The investor panelists will then give non-rebuttal feedback for 12-15 minutes

  • Each of the 6 presenting companies will receive a $5,000 Credit for a PeopleConnect search

  • Each company will also have the opportunity to create a 1-minute elevator pitch which will be featured on the PitchForce website & social channels

A message from our CEO, Max Shapiro: 

  • “PitchForce was an outstanding forcing function to help us get our pitch and deck ‘fundraising ready’.  We got excellent and helpful feedback from the PitchForce team and invaluable feedback from the pitch judges. It was well worth our time and investment.”
