Start Up Tuesday – Developing Your Pitch

The best way to test the feasibility of your business idea is through research. You can start with industry data, customer data, financial projections, possible funding sources, and other information. But to prove your concept, and convince others to invest, you’ll need a pitch. This workshop will help you develop yours.
