Pitching to Scale Workshop Series

Pitching To Scale!

For scaleup businesses who have experience pitching and raising funds, this series of 2 interactive workshops in-person at the Tech Central Scaleup Hub focuses on how to refine and tailor your investor pitch to better tell your scaling journey. Each session contains both theoretical sections and practical exercises and is open to 30 people only.

The sessions are facilitated by Peter Browne, a professional Pitch Coach and Trainer who has been working with startup founders in Asia since 2012 and in Australia since 2019.

In addition to the workshop sessions, Peter Browne will conduct 1 hour 1-1 coaching sessions with 10 scaleups (see below).

Tickets are limited, so to be fair to others please ensure you can attend before booking. You may attend more than one workshop - each workshop will need to be booked separately.


Tuesday, 9 May 2023, 12:30pm - 2:00pm - Fine Tune Your Pitch

In this session we look at the key information investors want to know - proven customer evidence (data and narratives), customer cohort experience and patterns, product efficacy, team expertise, experience and capability and growth and scale strategies. You will develop impactful statements that define your complete business opportunity.

Tuesday, 16 May, 12:30pm - 2:00pm - Prepare Your Decks

Your Deck can clarify or confuse your pitch. We take a deep dive into developing slides that clarify your opportunity and we look closely at how to visualise your content and data in each of the sections of your Pitch and Investor decks.

KEY TAKEWAYS INCLUDE

• Pitch Content – does my pitch clearly convey the key evidence and substantiated growth strategies
• Pitch Structures – am I using pitch structure for maximum impact
• Storytelling – using narrative and dramatic mechanisms to engage your audience
• Pitch variation – adjusting your pitch content for different investors
• Pitch Deck – how to visualise your pitch elements so your audience clearly understand your content
• Investor Deck – describing your key pitch elements with impact and a strong basis of evidence

1:1 Private Coaching (Online)

Following the workshop sessions, a 1 hour 1:1 Pitch Coaching session with Peter Browne will be offered to 10 scaleups who participate in the workshops. The link to book 1:1 sessions will be available towards the end of the workshop series.

In these sessions, you will present your pitch and receive specific feedback on content, structure, visual support (slides) and pitch delivery.

The sessions are highly personalised, giving practical guidance and direction to improve pitch content, slides and delivery, reinforcement of strengths and focused commentary on how to overcome individual challenges.
