Then Pitch\, Please is the program for you!! Join us for an afternoon of pitches\, light refreshments\, and one drink on the house while learning about some of Southern Oregon’s freshest business ideas!  \n\n\n\nPitch\, Please is a monthly event hosted by the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) offering founders and entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their 5-minute pitch virtually or in person at select events throughout the state. \n\n\n\nFollowing each entrepreneur pitch\, local thought leaders will ask questions and provide feedback to help strengthen pitches for when it’s time for the real thing. \n\n\n\nFor this version of the pitch event\, slides are optional.  \n\n\n\nENTREPRENEURS GET 5 MINUTES TO PITCH. They will each be in charge of their slides.  \n\n\n\nAt the 5-minute mark\, an alarm will go off to let them know their time is up. \n\n\n\nCOACHES WILL GIVE FEEDBACK ON THE PITCH. This is an opportunity for the coaches (as experts) to give 5-ish minutes of feedback on the pitch specifically. \n\n\n\nFor this Southern Oregon edition\, folks are welcome to join the audience and cheer on the founders who are pitching as well as pick up a tip or two from our local feedback coaches. The event is open to the general public who are interested in innovation and entrepreneurship.
