Pitching SE: How Good Leaders Sell Smart Ideas

Cutting through the clutter to get the attention of foundations and other social investors is not easy. To win donor support, SE leaders must sell clear and compelling stories that differentiate them from other organizations.

Pitching SE is your opportunity to refine your pitch, focus your ideas and wow a panel of seasoned judges at our annual conference ForSE 2009: Forum for Social Entrepreneurs. A panel of experienced non-profit and social investors will evaluate your pitch, and provide feedback and constructive advice.

You don’t need a business plan - just a business idea with significant social impact.  Your idea can be for a non-profit or for-profit or any combination. It needs to be early stage/less than a year old – operations started after September 1, 2008.
