Taught by SBC’s Kristin York and other seasoned mentors in collaboration with Tahoe Silicon Mountain, Tahoe Pitch Camp helps participants hone their presentation skills and information into a five-minute presentation, referred to as a pitch, identifying their value proposition and their organization’s capital needs.
Each entrepreneur will take questions from the panel of expert judges. The event will conclude with voting and a winner will be chosen by the judges and the audience. The event will also be live-streamed on Youtube. The winner selected by the judges and audience will receive a cash prize.
