Introduction to Pitch2Grow 2025 workshop

Pitch2Grow participants were welcomed to the program with an introductory workshop facilitated by Sheree Cayirylys (Regional Connector in Moree), Kerrianne Ryan (2024 Pitch2Grow winner and founder of Horse Led Learning), and Tyler Macey (2024 Pitch2Grow participant and owner of the Social Co House co-working space).

Content covered included:

• What is a pitch?

• Basic format of a pitch.

• What to expect at the Pitch2Grow 2025 event

• Requirements such as pitch length

• Support available in the lead up to the event including a meet up to discuss any concerns and monitor progress with their draft pitch, pitch workshop with the amazing Edwina Sharrock, and support offered by Toastmasters Moree.

• Kerrianne Ryan and Tyler shared their experiences and tips. Kerrianne shared her pitch deck and explained how keeping it simple and relevant to what you were saying was key to a winning pitch deck. Kerrianne also shared updates on her business developments.

• A template to start drafting their pitch was provided along with support timeline, Pitch2Grow handbook, and Lean Canvas booklet.

While some participants could not make the workshop due to work demands they were given an overview of what was covered and supplied with the resources shared.

We look forward to seeing the Pitch2Grow participants grow in confidence and skill.
