What is Pitch Camp?
Pitch Camp is a two-hour virtual workshop for tech nonprofit team members, hosted by Fast Forward and our partner companies. Participants learn the building blocks of an effective elevator pitch, craft their own pitch, and then have the opportunity to practice their pitch with trained volunteers from partner companies who offer real-time feedback. In addition to helping you hone your story, Pitch Camp is a great opportunity to meet both tech nonprofits and employees interested in supporting nonprofits and tech for good solutions.
Who is eligible for Pitch Camp?
We require that all participants work at tech nonprofits. A tech nonprofit is a tech startup that has selected a nonprofit business model to scale impact, not profit.
