Call for Pitch Decks Extended - Pitch Day New York

Morrison Foerster’s Emerging Companies and Venture Capital Group is excited to announce that we will be hosting an in-person CPG Pitch Day in New York on November 12, 2024.

We invite companies across the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry to submit their pitch decks for consideration. Finalists will have the opportunity to pitch to and network with a panel of local investors in the CPG industry. Judges will be from top funds in the CPG space.

Prior to Pitch Day, MoFo will also offer company finalists mentoring sessions, where we will provide strategic advice and feedback on pitch delivery and supporting materials.

To submit your pitch deck for consideration, please send a non-confidential deck and any relevant questions to PitchDayNY@mofo.com by Friday, September 20, 2024.

Timeline (Exact Dates and Times Are Subject to Change)

Participant Criteria and Guidelines
We are looking for CPG companies that are positioned for and actively seeking seed or later financing rounds. You do not have to be a MoFo client to participate, and there is no fee if selected. Additionally, no prizes are awarded. Our main goal is to be a resource to the startup ecosystem and provide the opportunity for New York-based startups to connect with investors.

Pitch Deck Guidelines
Please submit a non-confidential pitch deck (20 MB max.). Note that while these presentations are not subject to confidentiality agreements, they will not be shared with anyone outside of potential investors and organizers.

We recommend that you use the following outline for your pitch deck:

1. Problem – What unmet need does your company address?
2. Solution – How does your company’s product/service fill this unmet need?
3. Market Potential – Target market, market segments, and potential market size/growth rate
4. Management Team – Senior management and quick overview of relevant experience
5. Go to Market Strategy – Channels that will be used to deliver your company’s product/service to target markets
6. Competition – Current or potential competitors and competitive outlook/dynamics of the relevant market
7. Financial Projections – Five-year forecast, including revenue and EBITA
8. Funds Requested & Use of Proceeds – How much is your company raising, and how will funds be allocated?

Keep in mind that if your company is selected, you will have about four to seven minutes to present, with an additional two to three minutes set aside for investors to ask questions and provide feedback.
