Pitch Prep Program
All semifinalists participate in a four-week Pitch Prep Program leading up to the competition. The resources offered through this program include one-on-ones with pitch coaches and industry advisors, professional graphic design services to create a pitch deck, and a $1K Semifinalist Selection Award to help cover expenses as teams prepare for the big day.
The Pitch Prep Program is one of the most valued aspects of the VentureCat student experience. Semifinalists sharpen their storytelling skills, improve presentation delivery, network with advisors, prepare for rigorous Q&A, and enter competition day with a professionally-designed pitch deck.
