The Pitch Workshow Bootcamp takes an innovative approach developed from several years of stages, lectures and pitches, observing how audiences react and what motivates them to seek contact with the themes being presented. The training unravels the components of how to turn a big idea into a consistent pitch; helps format a presentation that connects with listeners; teaches how to deal with audiences and investors; and through storytelling construction techniques it helps to package ideas in a coherent and attractive way. The Pitch Workshow Bootcamp helps especially in preparing for Demo Days, which usually take place at the end of acceleration programs to present projects to investors. The training helps build a pitch that highlights the value proposition and demonstrates the unique investment opportunity, aiming to attract investors and partners.

The Demo Day is the same as the day of the final exam, you need to demonstrate what you managed to materialize throughout the journey. For that, you need to be prepared, just like an athlete prepares for any sports competition. And for this, it is necessary to adopt a method and a disciplined routine of training and preparation.

It strengthens, especially, those aspects that need more work. It is known that the best pitch is the result of combining the conviction one has in the project, with a consistent opportunity presentation, with an attractive chain of supporting ongoing activities and ideas, which helpss to make listeners seek engagement and intention to want to know more about the project.
