[Hidden-tech] Click Workspace - Pitch Business Plan/Idea to CA Incubator

[Elizabeth Dutton]

Dear Entrepreneur,

Click Workspace, a Northampton based business incubator and
co-working space, is launching a series of pitch sessions with
nationally recognized entrepreneurs, investors and innovators.

Event:   Click Workspace - First Web Pitch Session
With:     Sramana (Founder of 1M/1M)
When:   Thursday, July 12, 10:30am - 12:30pm
Where:  Click Workspace, 20 Hampton Ave, Suite 150, Northampton, MA 01060
Format: Virtual pitch session with 1M/1M Founder with both virtual and
small live audience

First pitch session will be presided by Founder of 1M/1M, Sramana Mitra.
Click Workspace recently established a partnership with California based
incubator 1M/1M (1m1m.sramanamitra.com) for the western Massachusetts
region. 1M/1M connects entrepreneurs outside California with the vast
resources available in California.

Sramana Mitra has started three of her own companies, consulted with over
80 large multinational companies on business strategy, and has helped
hundreds of entrepreneurs grow their businesses. In response to the needs
of entrepreneurs everywhere - who face the same challenges and require a
similar method for building successful companies - Sramana developed 1M/1M
to share her vast expertise with entrepreneurs everywhere.

This event will include five western Massachusetts entrepreneurs
who present to Sramana the strategy and challenges in their businesses
and receive her no-nonsense feedback.

Sramana's perspective is a breath of fresh air in the
current entrepreneurship space, which sometimes feels like a race
to investment, as if investment by definition means you've built
a successful business. Sramana's perspective is that many new
ventures either don't need funding or are not ready for funding, and thus,
the time spent on building a truly successful business -
customers, revenues and profits - is wasted chasing investors. One thing
is certain, Sramana has a laser-sharp focus and can help virtually
any company identify the gaps in its model, customer
validation, scaleability and fundability.  She does not dance around the
direct feedback that might save you weeks, months or years of work on
the wrong track. This feedback is perhaps hard to swallow, but well
worth it.

Please contact Elizabeth Dutton at elizabeth.dutton at clickworkspace.org with
a brief description of your business by June 12 if you are interested in
presenting your business plan/idea at this event.

John Galvin and Jayson Falcone
