I do not take the programme lightly as it has provided me guidance on running my business. I wish I knew this way back when I worked as a medical sales representative. It would have made my work, so much easier especially understanding that not everyone is your customers/ client and that is perfectly fine. I can now pitch my business to other funders, businesses with the confidence of knowing the value I provide for them. My name is Tshegofatso Aphane, also known as a refill specialist, I manufacture household detergent and I help you refill your finished detergent. #Socialenterpriseconnect #Entreprenuership #Manufacturer #Growingtheeconomy #Decreasingunemployment

Had a great time with friends and fellow panelists Kristin King, MBA, Sarah Benson-Konforty, MD, Tari Suprapto and Stella K. Vnook in reviewing pitch decks from some amazing founders in Bullpen's network and connecting with others who joined from all over the country and also globally. a few quick takes from the event yesterday: - Invest the time, energy and maybe $ in a visually appealing pitch deck with content that is sticky (in a good way;-) - for an intro pitch deck, keep it short and sweet and a real teaser so as to land a meeting with the investor. - highlight your unfair advantage after touching upon the problem and the solution - Make sure you have identified the right investors and that you are mission-aligned with their investment philosophies, so choose wisely who you spend your time with Investing in innovative startups is a human business and it really takes a village to build a startup. Thanks Christiaan Engstrom and Laura Farley, CRPC for helping build that community through Bullpen

On Monday, we delivered our first pitch in public and in front of investors. Big thanks to Chris Howard for believing in what we’re doing and allowing us to pitch. And to Vasily Alekseenko who put on the amazing conference that made this pitch event possible. No, we did not get investment on the night. No, we did not become an overnight sensation. But yes, the audience and investors were positive about Pary Moppins. Yes, we got a lot of great feedback. Yes, this now gives us the confidence to keep building, faster. Yes, having pitched under those circumstances will make anything else almost feel like a breeze. Hopefully. Yes, off the back of the pitch we're having a lot of interesting conversations. Never know what those turn into. We were honestly blown away by the other selected founders. Dr Michele Veldsman , Philippe Bijnens, Yuru Guo, Chris Leighton, Piers Clark, Gustavo Hinestrosa, Usman Manzoor and Roxanne Pryor. Also great to see fellow Belgians crossing the channel to pitch their very innovative instant-hot-water-shower system Heau bv. Pitching definitely isn’t something I have mastered yet. And it’s going to take time and effort to get better at it. But I know we’ve got something worth pitching. Something that needs to be solved. So, practicing is what I'll have to do. Shoutout to my co-founder and my life partner Sara Gerard who's a natural and injected our pitch with her signature energy. First time ever to be presenting together. More of that, please!
