2. About the workshop
InnoRate is organising its second workshop on ‘how to get ready for your investment pitch’ on the 24th of June 2021. This workshop will be set – up in an interactive way and will be divided into two main sections. Firstly, participants will enjoy a 40-minute masterclass on the dos and don’ts regarding the art of pitching, which will be followed by a dynamic Q&A session (15 minutes). Our expert, Fadi Naffah (part of InnoRate’s Advisory Board) will delve into the following elements:
• How to make your business idea understandable
• How to tailor your pitch to your audience
• How to perform a convincing pitch (visual story and delivery)
Once the Q&A session has been finalised, the second part of the workshop will kickstart. A total of 20 selected start-ups will be divided into 4 breakout rooms. Each breakout rooms will include 5 companies, 1 expert and a moderator. Each company will be asked to pitch their business for 5 minutes and will then receive 5 minutes of feedback on their pitch from the expert.
