Pitchfests: Promoting Local Business Investment through Entrepreneur Showcases

What do you get when you bring together local entrepreneurs and everyday investors?

Answer: A pitchfest!

A pitchfest (also called an entrepreneur showcase) is a fun, informative event where local entrepreneurs who are looking to raise capital can connect with everyday investors and community members.

During the event, the entrepreneurs give presentations to “pitch” their business ideas to the audience in an informal setting that typically includes food, drink, and plenty of mingling. A pitchfest is a matchmaking event of sorts, serving as the first step toward connecting local entrepreneurs and investors in meaningful ways.

On February 6, New Dream hosts a free webinar about how to organize a pitchfest in your community. Dovetailing with New Dream's Guide to Going Local, the webinar will cover topics such as how to get started, identifying local entrepreneurs and investors, and maximizing the success of your event.

Engaging Special Populations

With Larry Bremner (Proactive Information Services)

There are times when selecting more traditional data collection methods, such as interviews or surveys, may not be the best way of capturing clients’ ‘voices’. This session will look at considerations in engaging particular populations in evaluations, as well as introducing different data collections methods such as rubrics and visual methods.

Are you looking for very practical learning about basic tools for evaluation?

Do you want to hone your knowledge/skills with focus groups? Improve your capacity to create a logic model? Craft more effective surveys/questionnaires? Learn how to engage more effectively with special populations?
 
The Evaluation Tools Workshop Series is for you!
