Creative tech firms are being urged to sign up for a workshop to help them develop and pitch business ideas.
Hosted by tech business incubator SETsquared Bristol on April 4, #Ideas2Pitch is aimed at aspiring tech entrepreneurs and follows the success of a similar event last year. 
The interactive workshop, which starts at 2pm, will be led by SETsquared centre director Monika Radclyffe and Greville Commins, its entrepreneur-in-residence and founder of mentoring consultancy Varoom.
They will speak on what makes a good business idea and how to develop an effective elevator pitch before attendees will get the chance to practice their own pitch.
The workshop will be followed by SETsquared’s regular Connect networking event when attendees will get a chance to chat to its mentors and other experts in residence as well as figures from the start-up community.
Anyone interested in attending is urged to register as soon as possible as places are limited.
Monika Radclyffe said: “Having a business idea is great, but it is said that ideas only account for one per cent of the success, so there is much more work to do.
“We created #Idea2Pitch to help early stage entrepreneurs advance their thinking, and teach how to pitch their ventures to potential customers or investors.
“The event is a taster of the business support we provide to SETsquared members – accessible to a wider audience through #Idea2pitch.”
One of last year’s 15 attendees, Tim Sheppard, said: “The pitching practice was the most valuable part of the day, both trying our own and listening to others, and Grev’s focus on what we remembered from each was very effective.
“The evening networking was also excellent – great people, good conversations. It helped for Monika to tell everyone to find us and listen to our trial pitches. I had some willing listeners and lots of people wanted my business card as a result.”
