SUMMARY:Fix My Pitch Kickoff Event
DESCRIPTION:Great companies don’t always have great pitches.And that’s not a failure. It’s a skills gap. \nPitching is a craft. It can be learned\, refined\, and rebuilt. Founders shouldn’t have to figure it out alone\, and creatives want real problems to solve\, not hypothetical briefs. \nFix My Pitch brings those two worlds together. \nThis kickoff event is a fun\, low-pressure way to gather the startup and creative communities in one room. You’ll meet other founders\, designers\, storytellers\, and strategists\, and learn how the Fix My Pitch program works. \nWhether your pitch needs a second draft or you’re someone who loves helping ideas come to life through storytelling and design\, this night is about connection\, collaboration\, and making strong ideas easier to understand.
