Special Pitch Zoo Workshop — with Starting Gate 2014 Summer Cohort

On August 5th, we held a special Pitch Zoo workshop for the summer cohort of companies in the Starting Gate, a business accelerator for Western Michigan University students.  The individuals consisted of founders from six companies currently in the summer cohort of the accelerator.

During the 2 hour workshop we discussed different ways to pitch their business — to talk succinctly about the important part of their business / organization / idea.  We focused on investors being the audience of their pitches, which they will perform in several weeks at the Starting Gate Investor Day.

Below are several pictures from the workshop (picture source: Lara Hobson):
