​As a founder, going through the fundraising process can be incredibly frustrating. ​​It takes an amazing amount of time and effort to convince an investor to agree to talk to you.

​​​​And then, once you pitch your company, sometimes the investor never gets back to you. ​​Or if they do get back to you, oftentimes their rejection doesn’t explain WHY they’re not interested.

​​​​All this can leave an entrepreneur feeling frustrated, dejected, and unsure of what can be done to improve in the future. ​​We think this stinks.

​​​​That’s why, on Feb 27 we’re hosting a live pitch event for founders. And it’s FREE to attend.

​​Here’s how it’ll work:

• ​RSVP to the event and submit your pitch deck.
• ​​​​Up to 8 founders will be picked live and have 2.5 minutes to pitch a panel of 3 investors from Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad.
• ​The investors will ask follow-up questions and offer feedback to the founders…. just like in a real VC meeting!
• ​​​​By the end of this event, you’ll have a deeper understanding of why investors decide to invest in a company (or not). And the winner takes home a prize!
• ​​​​We’ll leave some time at the end of the event for your questions… so come curious!

​We designed this event for founders and investors.

​If you’re a founder looking to get feedback on your pitch, you’ll love this. If you’re a founder just looking to learn from other founders, we invite you to register without submitting your deck, and come enjoy the show! We promise you’ll get some big takeaways.

​If you’re an investor looking to meet more founders, or just hoping to learn more about how to evaluate companies, you’ll also get a lot out of Batter Up!
