Inspired by conversations at the 2013 MassTLC unConference, Unpitch is geared to entrepreneurs interested in connecting with investors. It's not about delivering an elevator pitch onstage or a "demo day" presentation, or trying to grab a few seconds with a venture capitalist in a conference hallway. Unpitch is a chance to sit down with an angel investor or VC for lunch in a casual, no-pressure environment; discuss your business; and get feedback and connections that will help you get to the next stage.Unpitch is totally free. The investors are buying lunch for the entrepreneurs… because each of them acknowledges that without great entrepreneurs, there are no successful investors. Unpitch is now run as a franchise in multiple countries. I am no longer involved in day-to-day operations, rather I lend my support when and where I can. www.unpitch.org
