If you are a budding entrepreneur, a local organization is ready to help, by putting you on the hot seat, Dragons鈥� Den style.
Okanagan coLab, an organization that offers professional work environments and services to local businesses, will be hosting the Startup Founder Hot Seat, Tuesday, June 5 at 5 p.m. The event aims to help local startups by providing feedback from industry-leading entrepreneurs and offering a platform to practice how to properly pitch a business plan.
鈥渃oLab has worked with many entrepreneurs since the organization鈥檚 start in 2011,鈥� says coLab鈥檚 serendipity architect, Shane Austin. 鈥淎nd we know that entrepreneurs are likely to pitch their business hundreds or even thousands of times to potential customers, partners, team members, investors, and more, so it鈥檚 paramount that they have this presentation down to perfection.鈥�
Members of the audience will present their ideas to a panel of experts, who will then rate each presentation, and provide helpful feedback.
Even those who don鈥檛 want to present are invited to register and watch the experts鈥� critiques and suggestions.
Tickets are free, and a limited number are available at .
