About this webinar:
Pitching an early-stage science- and technology-based startup to potential funders can be intimidating. Learning how to tailor your presentation and understanding what motivates funders to say yes, or at least not give you an outright no, are important aspects of preparing for your initial pitch.
This talk, led by Principal Anurag Agarwal at the venture fund Osage University Partners (OUP), will be structured around the firm’s many years of experience in hearing pitches and reviewing pitch decks to provide insight on creating and presenting an initial startup pitch to funders. The talk will delve into the venture capitalist mentality and will discuss the following areas:
-Pitching guidelines and suggestions for life science startups
-Who pitches?
-Essential elements of the deck and how much of each element to present
-Exemplary slides for tech and life science sectors
-What next?
