About

Our Practice Pitch Breakfast is not a competition. It is a time for entrepreneurs and investors to fellowship, learn from each other and build  relationships with one another no matter where we are located. We come in as strangers and leave as family.

Investor Feedback

3. You really have to hook your audience in the first three slides.
4. What’s the revenue model?
5. How many subscribers do you have right now? 
6. Nice job, Zach, on the presentation. You did a good job. I have 4 boys moving into your target audience. So, I definitely know that it is a relevant need.
7. I think it would be powerful to have a slide in there – a quad slide – of here is the content that is being put out right now, games that are being put out and what is missing in them because there is a lot being created in this space.
8. I do encourage you to have a quick slide to dump a ton of information quickly about here is where we sit in the marketplace would be really helpful.

10. Do you partnership with any of these other Christian media organizations? What is your strategy there?

12. Zach, I want to compliment you one something that I think is an incredibly important thing – how we encourage young people to understand and appreciate Biblical values?
13. Do you think you found a model that attracts parents? How do you get parents to say, “Yes, I want this!”?
