The AI Pitch Academy is run by Rockies Venture Club in cooperation with the Colorado OEDIT.

This pitch academy is specifically for Advanced Industries entrepreneurs.

Key topics covered include: 

• Focus your 5 minute pitch
• How to present
• Effective pitch deck design
• How to pace your presentation
• How to communicate the value of your company in a way that doesn't close doors
• How to communicate your "deal"
• How to balance pitching your product vs. pitching your company
• Understanding investor psychology
  
• Raising equity vs. convertible debt
• Communicating risks in such a way that investors are put at ease
  
• What to do to follow-up after the pitch 

The RVC Pitch Academy is unique in that it is taught by instructors who work one-on-one with dozens of angel and venture capital investors in order to determine what it is that they want. Graduates of the pitch academy receive funding at over ten times the national rate for those who are seeking venture investment.

All participants are encouraged to have their pitch deck ready and you will get a chance to pitch virtually and receive expert feedback and input from your peers.
