The selected presenting companies at the Italian Healthcare Venture Forum will have the opportunity to prepare for their pitching at the event in two stages:

 

• Pre-event Coaching Session - September

 

The first stage will consist of taking part in an online workshop, where selected start-ups will have the chance to work on their pitching skills and exchange good practices with experts in the field. The workshop will take place end of September/ beginning of October. 

 

• Onsite Venture Academy - 17th October

 

The Venture Academy will take place on the day before the pitching sessions. The academy will offer the companies that have been selected to present at the Italian Healthtech Venture Forum 2019 an opportunity to practice and fine-tune their investor pitch in front of a panel of expert coaches that will give feedback and advice throughout the day.

The focus will be on how to meet strategic partners and potential investors’ expectations. Participants receive guidance on how their presentations and propositions compare with those of other participants, as well as highlight the strengths and weaknesses which need to be addressed and improved.
