PITCH CLUB

Pitch Club is an event where entrepreneurs learn the criteria and methods used by real investors to evaluate their venture as a potential investment. This is done by recreating a typical investor meeting where a few companies pitch and receive feedback from TiE Oregon Charter Members. These meetings follow the same basic agenda of an investor meeting with three sections: the pitch, Q&A, and investor discussion & decision.
Who Facilitates Pitch Club?
Pitch Club is organized by Kari Naone, TiE Oregon Executive Director and led by TiE Charter Member and Angel Investor, Tom Kingsley.

Tom Kingsley, Serial Entrepreneur and Angel Investor
What to Expect?
Each attendee who intends to pitch should prepare a five-minute pitch presentation. (This can include a power point projection that will be presented from your computer.) Directly after pitching a five-minute Q&A will take place, followed by a five-minute Investor Discussion & Decision).
Those who pitch will receive a better understanding of what investors look for in a pitch and how to answer the questions a possible investor may ask. In addition, each presenter will receive a digital copy of their pitch and feedback from their peers and TiE Charter Members/Angel Investors.
