Pitching for funding
The aim of this course is to prepare you to pitch for investment – for your research or your business venture.
COURSE DETAILS
Those with funding need to know about you and why they should place their investment in you and your venture. This may be a pitch for research funds, a pitch in an enterprise competition or a presentation asking for an R & D budget. It is a skill that is much needed for the next career step. This interactive course will use your research as a starting point but feel free to come with a business venture idea too.
This course will cover:
- The structure and elements of a pitch
