A recap of pitches and lessons from @Pitch_Practice Sept 16, 2016

Thank you to everyone who attended last Friday’s Pitch Practice and thanks also to Atlanta Tech Village for the ever-continuing Pitch Practice love.

Here’s a recurring theme at Pitch Practice: every week, whether we get 5, 10, 15, or 20+ people at the meetup, when we ask “OK, who’s pitching today?”, just a few people raise their hands. But by the end of the meetup, almost everyone has practiced…

Pitches/Lessons from Sept 9 Meetup - and get ready for Pitch Practice @Techsquare Labs 9/26!

Very cool crowd last Friday at Pitch Practice. The first pitch broke the Internet on Facebook LIVE! Temporarily of course, but like I always say, you never know who’s gonna show, who’s gonna pitch, or what they’re gonna pitch. And here’s what they pitched.

Pitches from the Aug 12 session of @Pitch_Practice #practiceyourpitch

In the spirit of startups, we tried something new at Friday’s session of Pitch Practice: Facebook LIVE! I think we had 3 viewers at our peak time. W00t!
