FITCI Startup-U: Beyond the Pitch
Beyond the Pitch focuses on one of the most critical inflection points in a company’s growth: raising capital.
A strong idea and a polished slide deck aren’t enough. Investors fund companies that demonstrate clarity, traction, and readiness.
This program is designed for founders preparing to raise capital who want to approach investors with confidence and strategy.
What You’ll Gain:
- Strategically position your pitch deck
- Stronger, more persuasive delivery
- Clear understanding of what makes a company investable
- Practical guidance on engaging investors
Beyond the Pitch builds the investor-readiness layer on top of the foundation of FITCI’s Entrepreneur Essentials series: “Business Model Masterclass” and “Craft a Value Proposition That Gets Results.”
If you’re preparing for seed funding, venture conversations, SBIR commercialization pathways, or strategic growth capital, this session ensures you’re positioned and ready to pitch.
This class will be taught by FITCI President & CEO Kathie Callahan Brady.
This class is FREE for FITCI members. Please reach out to a member of staff for a promo code.
