Workshops & Seminars

"I wanted to drop you a quick email expressing my thoughts on how informative I thought the workshop I attended on Tuesday was. This exposure to how we should be pitching in everyday life is invaluable. I hope to be at the next workshop and pitching my business opportunity at the next Pitch Club" Rob LLoyd, Melbourne Pitching workshop attendee.

Anyone who has attended a Pitch Club event will attest to the fact that there is an art to pitching, and that some people do all the wrong things when they are in “the ring” (Pitch Clubs or life’s).  In many cases, what is in fact a great idea is delivered in such a way, that it misses the opportunity to connect with whoever is hearing it effectively.  Our workshops are facilitated, by one of our founders Peter Christo via his consulting firm Christo Partners.  Christo Partner’s offers a range of seminars and workshops for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial organisations.

The Facilitator

Currently, all workshops are facilitated by Peter Christo.

Peter holds a Masters Degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from Swinburne University of Technology, and a Bachelor of Economics & Marketing. He has been a serial entrepreneur since his 20’s and started over 6 businesses including Internet Resource Centre in South Australia (also working in San Francisco USA during the dot com boom), Christo Consulting (IT Business in 1999) X2O Pty Ltd (IT Contracting) and now manages ‘Christo Partners’ a Startup Business Advisory and is also one of founders of Pitch Club™ Pty Ltd.  Peter is also involved in a number of other start-ups including Melbournecoffeereview.com.

Peter’s passion is entrepreneurship either doing it or teaching it.  Peter speaks publicly on Entrepreneurship and has presented to eminent organisations including APEC on online business and entrepreneurship. Peter also contributes his time as an adjunct lecturer at RMIT’s Business School teaching Entrepreneurship to undergraduate students.

Workshops

Value-Mapping Your New Venture

This is a fast and high level session for people with big ideas.  Successful businesses deliver value to the market with their product of service.  A market exists in an industry.  These workshops show you how to map out that industry, then identify where your business opportunity will operate so that you can give yourself the best chances of success.  We recommend that all entrepreneurs use this as the basis for their  venture. 

Pitching Workshops

The purpose of a pitching workshop is so that participants leave with a sound understanding and some experience in presenting commercial ideas to investors, be they corporate, government or private. The workshop is designed to incorporate both theoretical aspects and some practical.  At the end of the workshop, participants will have a clear idea of what is expected in terms of a quality business pitch, while allowing them the opportunity to structure their Pitch more effectively while still bringing their own energy to the meeting.

Opportunity Valuation and Evaluation

Most ideas or business opportunities have a value; at least to the person who owns them. Is it valuable however in a commercial sense? And how do you go about quantifying that value in real terms?
