Pitch to Your Peers – Conejo Valley – Feb 18

Pitch to your Peers allows you to pitch your idea or company to our community with the purpose of getting invaluable feedback.

Workshop

Using Improv to Pursue Your Business Goals, with Jill Evans

During the event you and your team can work with Jill Evans to learn how to apply the practice of improv towards reaching your business goals.

Learn how to pitch better or how to build stronger teams–improv can play a beneficial role in your success.

At the UCLA Anderson School of Management’s 2017 Business Creation Option thesis program (“BCO”) for start-up businesses, Jill and the Corporate Improv Connection team successfully tested and demonstrated our core proposition that collaborative environments tend to prompt uninhibited contributions which move work teams faster and further than non-coached work teams.

You can join Jill on the patio throughout the event’s duration.

Pitch to your Peers allows you to pitch your idea or company to our community with the purpose of getting invaluable feedback.

It is a great opportunity to prepare before you pitch to investors, potential co-founders, strategic business partners, clients, or any other audience.

Everyone gets up to 5 minutes to pitch. We have access to a projector screen. Be sure to bring a HDMI cable if you want to use it.

We will try to give you advice and insight into what your intended audience may connect with or be concerned with. It is as much a practice in empathy as it is in pitching.

The event also allows for you to build relationships with potential mentors, investors, clients, users, and more.

After the event we will have time for informal networking.

This is an ongoing series we are holding each month with Pharos Center for Innovation in Camarillo. Be sure to check them out: https://www.pharoscenter.com/
