What is it?

This month we’re taking Pitch Club to the pub for an informal and fun evening of pitch practice.

Pitch Club is a supportive and welcoming environment which gives you the opportunity to practise your pitching skills and gain confidence in talking about your business. We’re here to help from the ground up! Whether you’re simply talking about your business or idea at networking events, or you’re going to be pitching at a competition to capture the attention of investors. Let’s get confident about communication.

This will be a regular event and we’ll likely have a different focus or format for events.

For this event, the format will include:

• Welcome and a reminder of house rules

• Pitching game icebreaker

• An opportunity for those who want to practise their pitches to do so and get feedback from the group

• Time to network with each other.

What can I expect?

A supportive space to practise your pitching skills and gain confidence talking about your business in a range of settings. As a group, we’ll offer support, encouragement and give constructive feedback to help you improve.

Tickets are limited so the group size will be small.

We’ll buy the first round of drinks - whether you fancy a pint or a soft drink.

Tickets are limited, please cancel your ticket if you are no longer able to attend.

Come prepared to ask questions, and join in with the other attendees and pitchers!
