Attended Innovate Calgary 's event entitled "Pitch Deck: Raising Your First $500K FFA". hosted at the Innovation Hub at University of Calgary . Excellent turnout of Entrepreneurs & Founders representing a range of "start up" enterprises. Keynote presentation was by Ed Kang (RODC) , Chief Strategy Officer at Startups. The experience & advice was extremely valuable no matter where one is in their career and is embarking on raising the all important initial capital. Selected "bites" of advice focused upon the following. "Perfect Formula: Super brief, Easy to Understand & Credible". "What is an Investor Thinking?". Do I understand this?, Is this my type of investment? and What makes this opportunity unique? Common Mistakes by Founders: "Don't assume, Pick one problem & Only Solve Our problem". There were many other pieces of advice based upon extensive experience which clearly resonated across the entire audience.
