The pitch is only the beginning.

What happens after a startup leaves the room?

Investors discuss the opportunity. They ask questions. They weigh the potential and the risks. And they decide whether a deal is worth following.

That's what makes an RVC Investor Forum a hands-on way to experience early-stage startup investing.

Join us October 21 and see what happens beyond the pitch.

Tomorrow, we're putting the pitch under the microscope. ๐Ÿ”

Knowing how to evaluate a startup's pitch is an essential skill for angel investors.

In Pick Apart a Pitch, RVC Executive Chair Peter Adams will show you how to evaluate the elements of a short pitch that can indicate whether a venture is worthy of further due diligenceโ€”and how to avoid common pitfalls that can influence inexperienced investors.

Imagine you're sitting in an investor forum.

Five founders pitch.
Five different markets.
Five different stories.
Five different personalities.

How do you evaluate them consistently?

The most memorable pitch isn't necessarily the most investable opportunity.

Angel investors need a framework for listening, questioning, comparing, and deciding what deserves further due diligence.

That's exactly what we'll work on in Pick Apart a Pitch.

Join RVC Executive Chair Peter Adams for this RVC Angel Accelerator workshop.

A startup founder has 5 minutes to make their case.

As an angel investor, you have to make those 5 minutes count.

Can you quickly identify the key elements of the pitch?
Can you separate a compelling story from a compelling investment opportunity?
And can you determine what deserves a closer look?

A 5-minute pitch can't tell you everything about a company.

And it shouldn't.

The purpose of an initial pitch is to help an investor determine whether there's enough potential to justify further due diligence.

That's where disciplined pitch analysis becomes important.

What did you hear?

What questions did the pitch raise?

What evidence is missing?

And what would you need to investigate next?

Those are the skills we'll explore during Pick Apart a Pitch with RVC Executive Chair Peter Adams.

It's easy to get caught up in a founder's enthusiasm.

That's part of what makes startup investing exciting.

But experienced angels learn to separate the presentation from the investment opportunity.

The goal isn't to pick apart a founder.

It's to pick apart the pitchโ€”and understand what deserves a closer look.

Join RVC Executive Chair Peter Adams for Pick Apart a Pitch and learn how to evaluate short pitches while avoiding common pitfalls of inexperienced angel investors.

When you're evaluating a short startup pitch, every minute matters.

You need to listen beyond the polished presentation and identify the elements that can help answer a much bigger question:

Is this venture worth further due diligence?

What is the problem?

Who is the customer?

How big is the opportunity?

What evidence exists that the business can work?

And who is actually capable of executing the plan?

In Pick Apart a Pitch, Peter Adams will break down the elements of a short pitch that investors should pay attention toโ€”and the pitfalls that can lead inexperienced angels astray.
