FAQ
You've got questions, we've got answers
What happens at The Quick Pitch?
You'll have less than 5 minutes to pitch, and then the investor or startup leader will give you feedback once you're done. After each founder has presented, we'll have Q&A from the live audience.
If selected to pitch, can I use my pitch deck presentation?
Sorry fam, but no slides allowed.
However, you can always email us your deck and we'll share it with our network of investors and startup leaders if you want.
If I'm raising money, can I talk about that in my pitch?
Your pitch cannot contain any language that's hateful, offensive, racist, obscene, or defamatory.
Is there anything that I shouldn't include in my pitch?
We respect your hustle but Uncle Sam and his SEC restrictions says 'nah, you can't do that.'
In order to make sure we are not violating any SEC policies on solicitation, you have to omit any details related to fundraising.
Will other people see my pitch after the event is over?
The Quick Pitch is a collective educational experience.
The event will be shared on our YouTube page and on the Mogul Millennial website.
Because of this, don't include anything in your pitch that you wouldn't want the world to know!
I'm an investor or startup leader and I want to cohost the next Quick Pitch.
