How to Do the Business Pitch

by Tim Berry on May 6, 2009

There was the University of Oregon venture competition, then the Rice University venture competition, one at Smart-ups in Eugene, and then we had the Big Idea Bash in Portand. I’ve seen some great pitches, actually, far more of them good than bad; but I can’t resist adding my suggestions as a quick (3-minute) video here.
