RVC Pitch Academy

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.

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