About this Event

Calling all new and aspiring business owners! Talking about your business idea in a way that tells your story and shows your business’ value is a skill that all aspiring and new entrepreneurs need to develop. Before you start your business, and in the early stages of start-up, you will spend a lot of time having conversations with potential customers, partners, and lenders. It’s critical to develop a 2-4 minute “pitch” that tells your story in a clear and engaging way - a “Clarity of Offer”.

In this session, Dominik Loncar, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Futurpreneur, will guide you through a simple and effective process to develop and practice your Clarity of Offer. Amongst your peers you’ll learn how to share your idea, story, and value you provide. After, you will have the chance to pitch your Clarity of Offer to your peers and a panel of judges, receiving feedback and pitching for the chance to win a prize! This is a wonderful opportunity to move your business or business idea forward.

Learning Outcomes:
· The four key areas to focus on that makes for a compelling Clarity of Offer
· What to avoid in a Clarity of Offer
· How to work on areas that need to be strengthened

You do not need to have a pitch ready beforehand or have slides. The idea of the workshop is to provide you with a specific method you can use, time-and-time again. Come out, have fun, and learn a new way of pitching!

Eligibility to pitch:
· Early-stage or pre-launch businesses with $0-$15,000 in sales in 2025
· At least one founder must be 18-39 years of age
· Product-ready business
