WELCOME to Global Entrepreneurship Week!
What is Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW)? Check out the Kauffman Foundation sketchbook http://www.gew.co/resources for an overview. GEW is 35,000 events in 125 countries around the globe – all in one week.
Global Entrepreneurship Week at the CBI concludes with FAST PITCH FINALS on Friday November 22nd at 5:30pm. This free event is open to the public.
Seven entrepreneurs will each pitch their business for 5 minutes and answer questions from the audience. It’s a bit like Shark Tank, with the twist that the audience will be there to provide support and offer suggestions to help the entrepreneurs make the connections they need to succeed in their businesses.
Pitching & Presenting
It’s the season of presentations. Global Entrepreneurship Week is November 18th through the 24th, just a short week away. We hope you’ll join us for the Final Round of Fast Pitch at the CBI on November 22nd at 5:30pm to hear the business presentations – “Pitches” – by local entrepreneurs. Some of these entrepreneurs have been working on improving their presentation skills by participating in the workshops we have provided to help them get ready for the final round of Fast Pitch on the 22nd, in front of a public audience. In additional to the CBI Fast Pitch, there are Start Up Weekends and 48 Hour Launch events around the globe as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week. These presentations matter. On November 8th, Seth Godin posted a blog about presentations. Continue reading
