About the Workshop
Most tech entrepreneurs don't realize that an Investor Pitch is NOT a manual for your startup, but a marketing brochure to get investors interested. Just like selling a product, salesmanship is just as important in raising funding as creating a massively disruptive product that will change the world. Many entrepreneurs become frustrated when they get stuck on raising money, while seemingly worse startups get all the funding they need. To become a good entrepreneur, you must become a good pitcher too, not just for investors, but also to Potential Co-Founders, New Employees, and Customers.Join our Investor Pitch Mentorship Session hosted by Yu-kai Chou. Yu-kai Chou is the Co-Founder of RewardMe, and has effectively raised over $1 Million from various investors (while being rejected countless times). Yu-kai will share about the lessons he has learned from pitching investors and the mistakes to avoid. He will also provide feedback for startups that have their pitch prepared and ready to showcase.

About the Conference
As Mobile technology evolves, tremendous business opportunities will emerge. The growing consensus is that our current cabled, PC-centric computing will soon be replaced by an untethered world of smart phones and tablets providing computing, on the go. The mobile network we all envision will be much more flexible, powerful and easier to use than today's wired Internet, but with the added benefit that people can use it anywhere, anytime, with much greater variety of devices.
