Pitch Party - "Pitchmas"

The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, Hatch Innovation Hub, Van Winkle Law Firm, BRCC Small Business Center, and Southern Appalachian Brewery have partnered to present this small business opportunity.

Pitch Parties are designed to offer entrepreneurs an opportunity to pitch ideas for a new business, expansions, and reorganization. Each participant will be allowed up to one minute to make a quick pitch, after which the participant will receive feedback from the audience.
 
Basic Rules of Pitching: 

• Pitches will only be 1 minute in length 
• Following the pitch will be 2-3 open questions from the audience
• The pitch should be either an idea for a business or can be a new idea for an existing business
• You do not have to have a business to pitch
• All you need is to show up to pitch - no registration required - similar to an open mic setup
• Above all, have fun - one-minute flies by, but it could change your world 

Typical Pitch Format:
1. Introduce yourself and the business/idea
2. State the problem you are addressing
3. State the solution you would present 
4. State the desired outcome if you need one
