WE NYC & AMP NYC are excited to open registration for our event, Rethinking Your Pitch, in partnership with Alley and latinoTech, where you will hear from successful entrepreneurs on how they secured funding and have an opportunity to practice your pitch.

Ask any entrepreneur what their biggest challenge in launching their business is, and it often comes down to one word: funding.

Access to capital can be frustrating and time consuming, but you're not in this alone. As a creative entrepreneurial community, we will come together to listen to others' challenges and successes in securing funding for their businesses or in funding businesses as investors. There are many opportunities to find funding, but first, it's about communicating your journey and your story. After hearing from entrepreneurs, experts, and investors, you'll have an opportunity to practice your story, or "pitch," with other founders and get real time feedback.

This is event is specifically tailored for media and entertainment entrepreneurs, but all are welcome.

Invite only dinner for partner investors who seek to connect with other investors in the New York City startup ecosystem.

Overview:

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether - what are these things? and how can YOU use them?

If you know how to use a dollar in your pocket, then you can learn how to use cryptocurrencies like cash.

latinoTech is joining forces with Kickstarter for an evening of digging into this hot topic: “How to Use Cryptos Like Cash” presented by Carlos S. Aquino, CTO of latinoTech.

Learn how to send money internationally, purchase things online, and tip your hairstylist (if she has a crypto-wallet, of course.)

This event is meant for anyone curious about Bitcoin or crypto or what all the buzz is about. Bring your questions! After the talk, we’ll open the floor to an open exchange of YOUR questions and ideas about crypto.

Refreshments gratefully provided by Kickstarter.

Words from our last LatinX Pitch Night Winner:

“Before we pitched at latinoTech, I was planning to get a job. But after this experience, we feel more confident to send our deck to investors. From the interest we got from pitching, there is the potential we might raise a round of funding — which means I can work on my company full-time.”
