Live Investor Feedback to Real Startup Pitches
Fundraising is frustrating for many reasons, one of which is the pitch. Founders spend so much time working on their pitches, only to be rejected – often without a reason, and almost never with feedback on how they can improve. This is not only frustrating; it’s also not helpful.
Iterative wants to help founders with this feedback loop. We also recognise it’s sometimes easier to learn from concrete examples, rather than another pitch resource or guide.
Iterative is hosting an event to break down how to improve real pitches from real companies.
Join Hsu Ken Ooi, Managing Partner, as he reviews real startup pitches and gives actionable feedback. You’ll learn about what investors look for - and don’t look for - in pitches and gain practical advice on how you can improve your own pitch structure and delivery.
How it Works
Register to attend the event. Indicate in the registration form if you’d like to submit a pitch deck or video and have an opportunity to get candid insights from Hsu Ken. If you indicate yes, we’ll send you instructions on how to submit your pitch.
We know giving a pitch can be scary and getting feedback can feel vulnerable. We're putting on this event to create a safe space for founders to learn how to improve their pitch. Our feedback will be direct, honest and productive. If you’re willing to, it could be an invaluable chance to get actionable advice on how to strengthen your pitch!
Submit your pitch by Wed 9 Aug at 12pm noon SGT.
The Iterative team will select 5-10 pitches for Hsu Ken to watch during the event and give feedback on how to improve it. There will be a chance for the audience to ask questions after each pitch and at the end of the event.
Note, you can attend the event without submitting a pitch.
