This class will teach on the components of a business plan, as well as give students the opportunity to begin drafting plans for their own business ideas.
Session 2: Creating a Powerful Pitch - A pitch is a concise presentation that communicates a business idea to an audience, whether it’s a 30-second elevator pitch or a presentation to potential investors.
