Crash Course: How to Pitch presented by Nicole Glaros, Managing Director, TechStars

Tags: Entrepreneurship / Technology Policy

Learning how to communicate the value of your startup effectively and concisely is critical to the success of your startup. Without it, you’ll never convince customers, employees, users, fans, media, and even investors on why they should support you.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

  • Deliver a great elevator pitch
  • Present a great investor deck
  • Create beautiful visuals
  • Get people to pay attention to you when you’re speaking
  • Stand out in the crowd
  • Not suck at your pitch

Nicole has worked with hundreds of startups, and has coached nearly 60 companies through Investor Day pitches.

Speaker: Nicole Glaros, Managing Director, TechStars
Nicole got her entrepreneurial start in the 4th grade, orchestrating cousins into theatrical plays and charging neighbors admission. From there, she founded three startups including PropertyManagementShop.com, all of which are still operating. She has spent nearly a decade working to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Colorado through leadership roles at various organizations and incubators such as CTEK, Investor Avenue, CleanLaunch, and the Advance Colorado Center. She considers herself privileged to have worked with nearly 100 brilliant and gutsy seed-stage web software entrepreneurs. Nicole graduated with her Master’s Degree from the University of Florida, likes to do at least one philanthropic thing annually, and shares the wonderment of parenthood with the love of her life, Mark. When not thinking about TechStars, you’ll find Nicole on the slopes or on her bike, hanging with her big fat greek family, traveling to some exotic destination, or generally making a fool of herself to entertain others.
