Many founders are just a few small changes away from a much stronger pitch. But they often don't see those changes themselves. In this interactive online workshop, Dr. Florian Kandler — aka the Pitch Doctor — invites founders into his "Pitch Ambulance" to work on their startup pitch live. Selected founders will pitch and receive direct, practical feedback on what is clear, what is confusing, what is exciting, and what could be improved. Don't miss this opportunity to get direct expert feedback on your pitch — or learn from watching other founders improve theirs live..
