Special Pitch Zoo Workshop – with Colleagues International

On April 22nd, we held a special Pitch Zoo workshop in collaboration with Colleagues International (Sarah Joshi) for 8 individuals that were visiting from Pakistan.  The individuals, officers of non-governmental organizations in Pakistan, were visiting Kalamazoo as part of a trip sponsored by the United States Department of State.

During the 3-4 hour workshop, the individuals practiced their pitches — talking succinctly about the important part of their business / organization / idea.  In a sign of collaboration, and understanding of the Pitch Zoo concept, they provided feedback to one another.

Several individuals from the Kalamazoo startup community attended the workshop (Moh’d Albattkhi, Amy Braat, Stacy Burdette, and Mark Omansa), and helped out with constructing pitches and providing feedback.  Thanks!!!

Below is a wonderful picture of the group.
