Pitch Preview

Pitch Preview, co-hosted by Charlottesville Angel Network, is an opportunity for start-up entrepreneurs to practice their pitch in front of angel investors to get valuable feedback before attempting to obtain funding.

 

Pitch Preview offers multiple opportunities throughout the calendar year. No funds are given out, but it serves as a helpful way for those who wish to obtain funds from investors in the future to become more confident with their pitch.
