JBMP Presents: Empowering Immigrant Founders to Master U.S. Pitching & Fundraising #SFTechWeek
THE HOOK OF THE EVENT
Pitching to U.S. investors is VERY DIFFICULT compared to pitching to international investors. Why only study about pitching when you can hear from U.S. industry professionals in real-time and apply what you learn ASAP to your founder journey?!

EVENT DESCRIPTION
JBMP Presents: "Empowering Immigrant Founders to Master U.S. Pitching & Fundraising".
Please join us for an evening of networking and learning about how to pitch to U.S. investors.
The way you pitch yourself, pitch your startup, create your pitch deck, present your pitch deck, etc. matters! So let us introduce you to concepts that are necessary to think about when you are ready to face U.S. investors.
***For U.S. investors & founders***: You will have the unique opportunity to interact with James's fellow master's student colleagues from Hult International Business School in San Francisco, an international business school with a supermajority international student population who seek to be entrepreneurs and change makers in the world!
