Our programs will include:

• Perfecting the Pitch: Winning Buyers and Investors for Your Small Business- Panel

• Happy Hour Networking

This dynamic panel brings together seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and retail buyers to explore the art and strategy of pitching. Designed for small business owners and startup founders, the session will offer actionable insights into crafting compelling narratives, understanding buyer and investor expectations, and navigating the nuances of different pitch environments. Panelists will share real-world experiences, highlight common pitfalls, and provide tips on how to tailor your pitch for maximum impact—whether you're seeking funding, shelf space, or strategic partnerships. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to position their business for growth and success in competitive markets.

After our Perfecting the Pitch Panel, join us for our speed coaching! All entrepreneurs are welcome to join in small group coaching with seasoned coaches, local experts, and Boston Beer professionals. From Sales to Branding and PR to Retail Readiness, all the coaches will be expanding on our panel and help you position your business for growth and success in competitive markets. Our speed coaching will be set up with three rounds of 25 minute coaching. Entrepreneurs are welcome to jump in at any point to join one of the coach’s tables for small group coaching. Get your business ready to be in front of your ideal buyer!
