One of the most popular events at NaperLaunch is the quarterly Pitch Session. Business owners have the chance to register ahead to practice making a pitch in front of a live audience and receive invaluable feedback on the pitch and their pitching skills. Pitchers can pitch for funding, for a strategic alliance partner or even practice a sales pitch. The feedback will guide the pitcher in making needed adjustments that will improve their pitch. The next two Pitch Sessions will be October 31 and January 30. Register on the Library's events calendar. https://bit.ly/2AEsvfw
