The Esports Trade Association (ESTA) proudly presents: Perfecting Your Pitch! How entrepreneurs seeking outside financing can create, polish, and present an effective sales pitch to potential investors.  

WHO THE PROGRAM IS FOR

This program is for esports companies or startups with a bold vision for the future, in search of outside investors to help make it happen! It is designed for entrepreneurs who have previously pitched their business ideas unsuccessfully or those who are new to the world of pitching, who desire to learn how to create and deliver a compelling pitch presentation.

WHAT THE PROGRAM COVERS

Perfecting Your Pitch is a 4-week immersive coaching experience that will teach entrepreneurs how to:

  • Create crystal clarity around their business concepts to be pitched.
  • Deepen their knowledge of what a pitch is and how it works.
  • Create an effective business pitch to grab the attention of potential investors.
  • Deliver investor pitches to live audiences.
  • Incorporate frameworks and tools for effective pitch delivery.
  • Leverage a collaborative community environment (networking and cross-training) among participants.
  • Obtain positive reinforcement for their projects after the course is completed.

The program covers three principal stages of making an effective pitch: (1) Pre-Pitch Preparation (2) Making the Pitch, and (3) Post-Pitch Reinforcement. Emphasis is placed on hands-on training, meaning that participants will actively plan and create their pitches, deliver and refine their pitches before live course instructors, guest instructors, and other participants, until their presentations are polished and ready to be presented to their intended funders.

The classes are scheduled once per week, over an 4-week period, and are 75 minutes in length. The format will be a mixture of lectures from the instructors, question and answer discussions, in-class exercises, live pitch presentations, and simulated pitch presentations.

WHEN DO WE BEGIN?

The first class begins on Monday, August 16th at 12:00 noon EST and is led by entrepreneur and master business coach, Sharon Gill, author of “Clarity” What Business Are You In?” and “The Entrepreneur’s Mindset.” Mrs. Gill is currently a strategic advisor to the ESTA Board of Directors.
