Two leading Canadian authorities on startups and seed funding will hold an educational session on pitching in Halifax next month as part of a nationwide campaign to improve startups’ presentations.

Ian Jeffrey from FounderFuel and John Stokes from Real Ventures, both of Montreal, will host Pitch It at the Volta startup house on Spring Garden Road on September 26 at 2 pm. The Halifax date is part of a seven-city Pitch It tour.

Tickets cost $15, and could go quickly. The Montreal event is already sold out.

Pitch It consists of two lectures, and then an opportunity for the startups in attendance to pitch to the crowds.

Stokes, an investment manager at Real Ventures, one of the leading seed-stage VC funds in the country, will deliver a talk titled “How to pitch for a seed round”. That will be followed by Jeffrey’s lecture titled “Deliver a killer pitch”.  Jeffrey is the General Manager of FounderFuel, one of Canada’s top startup accelerators and an organization known for teaching its companies to pitch.

Following the lectures, startups in the audience will have a chance to pitch, and receive feedback from Jeffrey and Stokes. They warn that they will not be sugar-coating their advice.
