Pitch Diagnostic with Cheree
Warwick: As part of the value
presented by the Angel Venture Forum, selected finalists are eligible for one free hour of presentation coaching. This

work together to strengthen their presentation. Advice will be given on both the content of the presentation as well
as how it is presented—both the order of and formatting of the PowerPoint® as well as personal presentation style.
