Mr. Gold is an internationally known presentation and pitch coach who helps individuals prepare for high-stakes presentations. Mr. Gold will present a workshop that will help attendees be more persuasive and credible during their pitch Q&A. During Friday’s workshop, Mr. Gold will be conducting live one-on-one presentation skills sessions for entrepreneurs and/or small founding teams who want to invigorate and improve their pitches to investors and customers. 

Sessions are limited to 15 entrepreneurs and/or small founding teams of five or less people. Advanced registration is required, and space will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Each entrepreneur or founding team should be prepared to deliver the opening remarks they use with investors or customers (with slides, if applicable), and/or provide their answer to the question, “What does your company/product/service do?” Each participant will receive individual direction and customized feedback from Mr. Gold, as well as observe and listen to the pitches and feedback with other participants.

This event will be open to the public to observe, and a reception will follow. Interested individuals can learn more about Mr. Gold and his dynamic approach at www.democoach.com.

The City announced in October an 18-month engagement and partnership with the Kauffman Foundation to improve conditions for entrepreneurs in Burlington. In collaboration with CEDO and other community partners, the Kauffman Foundation will bring a combination of up to $500,000 in Burlington-specific grants, technical assistance and research to strengthen the City’s capacity to support entrepreneurs. Friday’s event with Mr. Gold is separate from these grants, but is an example of the Kauffman Foundation bringing access to its network and sponsoring opportunities to the Burlington community.
