Do you have a startup, or a strong idea for a startup? Could you use blunt, honest feedback on your startup ideas? The catch? You have ONE SENTENCE to wow the panel! On this live and interactive online event you can pitch your ideas to a panel of Mountain West (Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City) startup investors and experts for ratings and feedback, all from the comfort of your home. Even if you don't want to pitch, you are invited to hear startup ideas and watch how the experts analyze businesses. See below how to deliver a fantastic one-sentence pitch and also pre-submit your pitch.
We will be selecting people from the audience to pitch, and will do as many as time allows. To prepare, work on your one sentence pitch at http://fi.co/madlibs, and pre-submit your pitch at https://forms.gle/y2mZQuusXUiYos2WA.
Spectators are welcome!
Even if you don't want to pitch, you are invited to register, hear startup ideas, and watch how the experts analyze and critique new businesses.
