Your INSPIRATION team

We are very pleased to announce that, in addition to the popular "Börsenführerschein", we will now also be offering the How-to-Pitch lecture series of our umbrella organization BVH for the first time. The HtP seminar is a three-part basic training course for presentation skills, which are becoming increasingly important in student and professional practice. Especially in capital market related fields it is essential to convey content in an understandable and appealing way. But also in many other areas - e.g. in the start-up scene or when presenting in seminars - pitching is indispensable. The three presentations last a total of about 3 hours and are optionally followed by a multiple-choice test with a certificate for the participants' CV.

On 08.05.2023 our topic will be Presentation & Pitchdeck. Elementary for the success of a pitch is the structure and the "red thread" of a presentation. Consequently, How-to-Pitch contains an exemplary structure as well as explanations of important elements of business analysis. To reflect the focus on the stock pitch, two example pitches have been included.

The event will start at 7pm and will last one hour. We will meet in person at the University of Cologne. The entire lecture will be held in German.

You can register for the event via the following link: https://kbv.typeform.com/how-to-pitch 

We are looking forward to seeing you!
