This
session
represents
a
great
opportunity
for
entrepreneurs,
investors,
and
others:
• Gain
Pitching
Experience.
If
you
are
an
entrepreneur,
you
may
apply
to
pitch
your
company
to
our
panel
of
investors
and
experienced
business
experts
at
this
event.
Most
companies
that
want
to
grow
and
expand
internationally
need
to
find
investment/risk
capital
and
a
key
element
of
this
process
is
to
make
a
“Pitch”
to
investors.
Contact
Robin
Teigland
(robin.teigland@hhs.se)
as
soon
as
possible
if
you
would
like
to
pitch
as
we
only
have
6
pitching
spots
available.
• Gain
New
Insights.
Even
if
you
are
not
seeking
funding
or
do
not
want
to
make
a
pitch
now,
the
opportunity
to
watch
others
make
a
pitch
in
front
of
investors
and
experts
will
give
you
very
valuable
insights
into
the
process.
• Network.
This
is
a
key
characteristic
of
Silicon
Valley
–
an
opportunity
to
meet
other
entrepreneurs,
investors,
potential
customers,
and
others
who
could
be
useful
to
you
at
some
point
in
your
entrepreneurial
journey.

For
those
who
would
like
to
pitch,
You
Must
Prepare
a
Pitch
Deck
(a
set
of
slides)
to
use
in
your
Pitch
presentation.
Since
each
presenter
gets
only
7
minutes
to
present,
you
need
to
think
through
carefully
what
you
include
on
your
slides
-­‐
to
make
sure
you
give
the
panel
and
audience
members
a
very
clear
idea
of
what
is
so
great
about
your
company/product/service
and
why
investors
should
be
very
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
invest.
Of
course,
don’t
hesitate
to
follow
up
with
any
questions
you
might
have.
See
you
on
June
17th
!
