If you have a strong idea that could be pitched more clearly, then join us for the Startup Pitch Bootcamp. In just three hours, this intensive workshop will help you improve your pitching skills and understand the components of a great pitch, providing plenty of practice until you get it right. Pitching is a key skill of every successful entrepreneur. How do you communicate your business clearly to employees, customers, and investors? What are some common pitching mistakes that make you look inexperienced? What is the best way to pitch your business?

Our special guests: 

  • Lyubomir Yanchev, a 20-year old Founder and CEO of Melissa Climate who just raised BGN 1,000,000!
  • Dilyan Dimitrov is founder and partner in Eleven - The biggest accelerator and venture capital fund for early-stage investments in SEE. Dilyan has scouted hundreds of founders & startups and heard a lot of pitches before investing in more than 100 of them.

All participants will be given a chance to pitch in front of the jury (the speakers) as the winner will be awarded a Full Scolarship (value $400) for the 1st Semester of The Founder Institute in Sofia (starting on the 3rd of December). Second place gets a bottle of whiskey! ;) You don't have to be a pro! Come, test your skills and meet other startupers from Sofia! Join us for a fun evening!
