The Hatchery invites serious entrepreneurs to take part in its next open pitching event on Wednesday evening, November 14. Presenters will have five minutes to pitch their product or startup to a panel of angel investors. The panel will provide candid feedback and guidance on steps to improve the pitch for actual investor presentations. Further, the panel will provide opinions on whether the products or firm are commercially viable. Typically, panelists have seen hundreds of pitches from startup firms, and have a good feel for the ability of a new company to create a successful launch.
