Pitch meetings are informal sessions at which business ideas are presented with the idea of determining whether or not the idea merits further attention. At every pitch session we have a panel composed of both entrepreneurs and investors. The entrepreneurs provide feedback on the feasibility of the business plan and the persuasiveness of the pitch itself. Investors in the room are prepared to make investments and also have extensive contacts in the venture capital and angel community in New York.
A short slide presentation is often conducted during which the presenter discusses the idea and its potential market, possible competitors, information about the founders, and the amount of capital required to bring the idea to fuller commercialization. Presenters typically have 10 minutes to pitch their idea, after which there is a 20 minute Q&A with the panel. The pitch meetings generally consist of three to five teams pitching their ideas in front of the other teams and panelists. Projectors, whiteboards and flip charts are available for use by presenters. For ideas that deserve further atention, follow on due diligence sessions may be scheduled.
Science House conducts pitch meetings on a periodic basis, currently every two months.
