Event Details
This month's Startups Uncensored event will be a fireside chat with BeachMint founders Josh Berman and Diego Berdakin on How To Pitch To Investors, hosted by Jason Nazar.
NOTE: Before the evening's Startups Uncensored event, we will be co-hosting a very special LA Startups Demo Day at the Fairmont Hotel from 1:00 - 5:00 where 20 LA startups will be showcasing their new products/companies to a large group of investors and the LA startup community. You can claim a ticket for the LA Startups Demo Day on this event page, or visit the official event page for more details and to apply to present.
Join over 500 LA entrepreneurs, investors and techies to learn the very best ways to pitch investors.
Josh and Diego started Beachmint in 2010 and since then have raised over (wait for it....) $70 Million Dollars. They're also both active angel investors in the LA startup scene having invested in some of the most popular LA tech companies.
In this fireside chat we'll cover:
1.) How to court investors
2.) The biggest pitfalls and turnoffs in pitching
3.) How to pitch an angel deal vs a venture capital firm
4.) The elements of the perfect pitch deck
5.) Closing the investment
