Global Demo Night :: Tuesday 3 August :: 5pm Lisbon/Uk (12pm Eastern) (9:30pm IST)

“I apologize for such a long letter - I didn't have time to write a short one.”
— Mark Twain
So here it is. A Demo Night like no other in the 53 edition series so far.
On August 3rd you can bring your elevator pitch in a snappy 2 minutes to the Canopy Community audience. There will be a vote for the best one and the winner receives a year of Canopy Growth membership plus a range of prizes and discounts from our partners.
Want to reach a global audience of potential partners, investors, new hires, co-founders and customers? This is your opportunity to do so in just one evening, with just two minutes of your time. What have you got to lose?
Places are limited to 10, so don’t delay. Register now and work out how you are going to do it before you get there on the 3rd August.
After the elevator pitches there will also be an open mic session of 10 mins where members of the audience can grab up to 1 minute to shout out for their idea, event, training course, blogpost, consultancy service or company. This will be on a first come, first served basis. No registration required. (There’s no votes or prizes on this bit though, sorry!)
This is a global event, a real team effort and hosts for the evening will be from the Canopy communities in Portugal, UK, India and USA and this will be live streamed to the global community and beyond. All our organisers and community managers from across the team will be involved in selecting the startups who can pitch & setting up connections and intros for the selected startups who take part.
Don’t worry if giving an elevator pitch isn’t something you think you are good at or something you’ve even done much of before. It’s a really key skill that we all have to develop at some point on our startup journey. It’s a skill that translates into many other areas of professional, and personal, life and you can never ever get enough chances to try out a new style or approach or audience.
We’re very much looking forward to seeing you on the 3rd so don’t delay………….
P.S. If you just want to attend the event (and not pitch), HERE is where you sign up for that.
