NVTC Starting Point Session 3: From Idea to Investable: ​Building a Winning Pitch

A great idea can open the door, but a great pitch can turn that idea into opportunity.

For founders seeking investment, knowing how to clearly communicate your vision, market value, competitive advantage, and growth potential is critical.

Join NVTC and KPMG for “From Idea to Investable: Build a Winning Pitch”, the third session of the 2026 Starting Point series.

This interactive session goes beyond pitch theory. You’ll hear directly from experienced leaders about what works, what doesn’t, and what makes an investor want to learn more. You’ll learn how to:

  • Build a clear, compelling story around your company and opportunity.
  • Communicate your business story in a clear, persuasive narrative
  • Highlight the market opportunity and investment potential.
  • Avoid common mistakes that weaken otherwise strong pitches.
  • Deliver your pitch with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.

Whether you’re preparing to pitch investors for the first time or sharpening your story for your next round of funding, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can put to work right away.
