About the Event
Throughout this workshop, we'll help you develop your Lean Business Model Canvas and you'll practice pitching your idea.

You will work on refining your elevator pitch throughout the class and we'll conclude the day with a graduation pitch event! You will pitch your business idea to a panel of mentors who will give you feedback and select a winner that will receive additional Startup Tucson services. These same mentors will be coaching and guiding you throughout the day to perfect your pitch!
