On Thursday, October 23rd Joynture will be hosting the Startup Weekend Pitch Karaoke from 7:00pm-9:30pm on the 5th floor of 48 Wall Street.
The pitch is a critical element to the success of any startup.
It is how you you win the hearts, minds and souls of investors, team members, customers, and the WORLD! Without the pitch, your startup is nothing.
The only problem is… pitching is hard and a little scary too!
Pitch Karaoke seeks to support anyone interested in startups and entrepreneurship by:
– helping people overcome public speaking fears
– educating the community on the critical elements of a 5 minute pitch presentation
– pushing future entrepreneurs to be comfortable with the concept of failure
– bringing together the NYC startup community in a humorous yet relevant environment
The Format:
10 mystery slide decks will be created to showcase 10 imaginary startups.
On the day of the event, your name will be picked from a hat and you will be asked to pitch these startups in front of NYC’s welcoming, friendly, and HUMBLE entrepreneur community. 😉
The Caveat?
– They will NOT see the slides in advance of their presentation.
– They will NOT be told the outline of critical presentation elements.
– The startups will be imaginary. They do not exist in real life… yet.
– Presentations are Ignite-style: 5 minutes total
Those that are chosen to pitch will be receiving a special prize from our friends over at General Assembly!
