Pitching

Hi Delegates, Find attached a link of the pitching deck. The aims of your pitch should be: 1. Clearly differentiate your product from those already existing in the market 2. What are the benefits? 3. How much funds do you require and what will you use those funds for? Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Introduction - Neha Dubey

Hi delegates!! I'm Neha, one of your vice-chairs for Berkeley Venture Capital. I'm currently a freshman intending to study Business Administration with a minor in Public Policy. I did MUN and debated public forum for all 4 years of high school. I'm from Fremont, CA, and am super excited to chair and help run a conference that I attended several times as a delegate. One of the things I'm most excited for is to hear all of the innovative solutions and companies that you come up with. In my free time I like to watch basketball (go warriors!), drink excessive amounts of coffee, and spend time with my friends. I can't wait to meet everyone and see what you all bring to the table in March. Feel free to email me (ndubey@bmun.org) or any of the chairs if you have any questions. - Neha Dubey
