Winning Investors With Your Pitch Deck and Presentation

Entrepreneurs’ Network Boston Meeting

PRE-MEETING DINNER at 5:15 PM (sharp) at Bertucci’s, Waltham, MA (Exit 27, I-95/Route 128)

One of the most obvious and challenging key requirements for the success of an early stage entrepreneurial company is securing funding. Our Boston ENET June 7th meeting is focused on learning how to win potential investors with the right pitch deck and presentation. It will also focus on how companies can build a value proposition which will enable an entrepreneur to raise value, a critical step prior to raising money.

The Panel is composed of several venture capitalists, some who have been in successful startups prior to their investment careers and a CEO who has led several successful start-ups, is an author, currently works with early stage companies as an adviser and who has developed webinars and a work shop to guide early stage company executives to success.

Join us for an exciting and informative evening of informative presentations and networking.
