BNNs The Pitch
The Pitch: airs Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 a.m. PT
The Pitch is an exciting weekly show from Business News Network (BNN) that hooks up Canadian entrepreneurs with expert panelists who put the pitchers through their paces live on air. During the program, start-up entrepreneurs or companies seeking to take their business to the next level "pitch" their business idea - and the amount of cash needed - to a panel of tough financiers and experts, including GoForth Institute's founder, Dr. Leslie Roberts.
The expert panelists will either give the pitch the green light or send the dreamers back to the drawing board. It's a fast-paced half-hour hosted by BNN's Andrew Bell. And it's 100% live, giving viewers a chance to see how the entrepreneurs perform in television spotlight. If you're an entrepreneur with a going-concern business looking for VC or angel money, get in touch with the show's producers, email thepitch@bnn.ca.
Dr. Leslie Roberts on BNNs The Pitch
GoForth Institute's President and Founder, Dr. Leslie Roberts is a regular expert panelist on The Pitch. According to Leslie, "Pitching is what entrepreneurship is all about - you have to be able to communicate what you do, what's so great about your business and why someone would want to deal with you instead of with your competition. Pitching is a real art, but practice makes perfect!" Want some practice? Watch a few of the episodes of BNNs The Pitch and see how your business pitch stacks up.
