Traction Report NO.8 - Pitch Practice Nights
Open-Mic Pitch Practice Nights Have Begun!
We’re off to a great start with our Pitch Practice events!
In partnership with the Daveler Institute of Entrepreneurship, we’ve already brought together a vibrant and growing community of entrepreneurs across Southwest Florida.
Together, we’re creating a low-pressure space to hone pitch skills, ignite creativity, and foster real connections.
Previous Pitch Nights:
Our first two Pitch Practice Nights were a huge success- held on May 8th and May 29th at FSW Lee and Collier Campuses. They were packed with energy, creativity, and community support. From bold one-minute ideas to thoughtful five-minute pitches, participants showed up ready to grow, connect, and cheer each other on. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with attendees highlighting the value of a space to practice that feels both professional and approachable. These early events have set the tone for something truly special in Southwest Florida—and we’re just getting started.
Why Pitch Practice?
Whether you're getting ready to raise funds, launching something new, or just learning to tell your story with confidence, these sessions give you valuable reps in a supportive and encouraging environment.
It’s not about having the perfect deck—it’s about learning, growing, and getting real-time feedback you can actually use.
We’ve now launched Level 1 & Level 2 Pitch Nights, and Level 3 & 4 are coming soon.
