On December 8th, we will host Pitch, Power, Voice: Telling Your Story, a FREE workshop open to the public, sponsored by WashU’s Skandalaris Center and In St. Louis For St. Louis initiative, Delmar DivINe, and Delmar Main Street.

What makes this opportunity so valuable is the experience and expertise in the room! Participants will have the chance to learn from past pitch competition winners, an Arch Grants finalist, venture coaches, and successful entrepreneurs, including Quintrel Brown of Kr8 Space. These individuals bring firsthand experience in developing compelling pitches, competing for funding, and navigating the entrepreneurial journey.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to strengthen an existing pitch, this workshop is designed to help you tell your story with confidence, communicate your business's value, and better position yourself to compete for capital.

Even more exciting, this workshop can help participants prepare for an upcoming 314 Day pitch competition at Delmar DivINe in March, where entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to compete for cash prizes! Last year's prize pool exceeded $10,000!

This is more than a workshop. It's an opportunity to gain valuable insight, receive meaningful feedback, build connections, and prepare to turn your business vision into a compelling pitch that could open doors to funding and growth.

We encourage you to share this opportunity with entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone who could benefit from the experience. We want to make sure our St. Louis entrepreneurial community has access to the knowledge, resources, and connections that can help their businesses thrive!
