Creating the Perfect Investment Pitch | Great Ideas Webinar

A strong pitch is about more than having a good idea. It needs to clearly show the problem you are solving, the value you create, the numbers behind your plan, and why now is the right time to back your vision.

Join us for our Creating the Perfect Investment Pitch webinar on Thursday 12 November, 1.30pm-2.30pm, with Charlotte Scott, investment readiness specialist, who will share practical guidance for founders preparing for investment, grant panels or future funding conversations.

The session builds on the most common challenges Great Ideas founders face ahead of their grant panel pitch. It will help you sharpen your proposition, understand the numbers investors and panels need to see, and frame your ask with confidence.

You’ll learn to:

• Make your proposition clearer and more compelling
• Show the scale of the opportunity and the customer need
• Use numbers to build confidence in your business model
• Present pricing, unit economics, financials and route to market clearly
• Explain your team, traction and progress so far
• Frame your ask in a simple, confident and practical way

Who it’s for
Business founders who want to improve their proposition, prepare for future funding conversations or build a more sustainable business. It is especially useful for founders who did not make it through to the grant panel, as the session will give practical insights they can apply straight away.

Charlotte Scott has over six years’ experience in the investment sector, working across venture capital, angel investment and public sector funding. Through the Northern Investor Hub, she has helped founders secure more than £4 million in grant funding and facilitate £5 million in private investment since 2023.
