About Pitch Preview
Charlottesville Angel Network (CAN) and Virginia Small Business Development Center (VSBDC) have joined forces to help you polish your pitch presentation.
CAN and VSBDC are offering pitch practice opportunities, with accredited angel investors in attendance. There is no cost to participate and presenter(s) will leave with actionable feedback from these angel investors. Pitch Preview is held virtually on the first Thursday of the selected months from 12 – 2 pm.
Pitch Preview is not a formal request for funding. Instead, it is an opportunity to practice your pitch and receive feedback from investors before seeking funding.
