The RVC Pitch Academy is a half-day workshop designed to do much more than just polish a founder’s pitch and presentation skills. From delivering a compelling presentation to negotiating a successful deal, this workshop will prepare founders to understand many of the terms and processes used by VCs and sharpen their venture strategy.

Key topics include:

Preparing a business for a deal
Designing a deck
Delivering the pitch
Communicating the value for venture funding
Balancing pitching a product vs. pitching a company
Raising equity vs. convertible debt
Communicating risks that don’t raise red flags
Understanding investor psychology
Following up with interested investors

RVC’s Pitch Academy instructors have years of experience working with angel + venture capital investors; the Pitch Academy content reflects deep and useful insights about investor priorities and interests. Multiple instructors ensure one-on-one engagement, including pitch practice with real-time feedback.

This is an EDA (Economic Development Administration) backed workshop which means that it is free for companies led by Black, Hispanic or underinvested entrepreneurs.

Founders: please bring a five-minute pitch deck and laptop to practice

Note: To pitch to investors at an RVC meeting you must apply to pitch and be accepted by RVC reviewers.
