Want to pitch your idea with VCs in the audience? For this Idea Propeller, we've invited a few VCs to listen to and provide feedback on your ideas. In typical Idea Propeller fashion, we will allow you to spend 15-20 minutes presenting and receiving feedback. Those not pitching can listen in and provide input, too.

What to expect + prep for this session:

• (5 mins) Intro's + rules of engagement
• (50 mins) Breakouts with 3 pitchers in a room with 1-2 VCs. Recommended format is to pitch or present for 3-5 minutes and leave the remaining time for Q&A. If you have specific asks for feedback, direction, or connections from the VCs, please share those before jumping into the Q&A

What's Idea Propeller?
The purpose is to create time, space, and accountability for members to pitch ideas that they are thinking about or starting to work on. We'll help the "idea sharers" identify questions they need to answer and next steps, e.g. customer discovery and interviews, research, data collection, etc. Through this session, the idea sharer should be closer to a YES or a NO on moving forward.

Overall, the session will allow Propellers to make progress building, connect with people with similar ideas/interests, and gather and give live feedback. The top ideas can then get assistance from this group and the community on the journey to build!

What to expect + prep for this session:

• (5 mins) Intro's + rules of engagement
• (50 mins) 3 people present - oral presentations of ideas are perfect. Slides are optional. Want to pitch an idea this time? Send @Schaffer Ochstein or @emily a note!
• We'll talk about each idea for 15 minutes - 3 minutes are the pitch (market, problem, + solution) and remaining time is feedback. You'll be added to the "red" or "blue" team to provide feedback
