Entrepreneurs, would you like to “pitch” your business?
Pitch In is a community event to pitch your idea and get real-time feedback. These twice-per-month events feature two presenters, who each share their stories for 6 minutes. After the pitches, the community has 20 minutes to ask questions and provide each entrepreneur with the best resources to address the entrepreneur’s needs. All events are hybrid, so you can join either virtually or in-person. Attend an event in May to see how it works.
Pitch In meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month at the Studios @ Mesa City Center. Visit: Phoenix East Valley | Pitch In New (pitchinaz.org) to learn more about becoming a presenter.
