[IN]credible Pitch Practice
INcubes Mentor and Angel INvestor, Mark Dowds rounded up his organization, Band Of Coders to watch the INcubes Startups Pitch Practice and provide unleashed cutting critiques. It was a real life Dragon’s Den situation.

2.5’s Jeff Walter takes the floor
INcubes Startup founders, who for many have had little experience pitching to such a distinguished audience, received valuable feedback on to communicate more effectively. Tough love was given, and was received very humbly by our Startups, who will surely apply this valuable criticism.
Mark Gelman, Anatoly Dobrovinsky and Anton Belov of Gossipz
Public speaking is difficult in any case, but imagine needing to explain something as sophisticated and complex as a tech business plan in under 5 minutes. Thank you Mark Dowds and Band Of Coders for this valuable night… as well as the wine, beers and cheers! @MarkDowds
[IN]tensive Day 03 - INtake 01
This week’s INtensive Day at [IN]cubes was successful at shifting the Startup’s focus from Biz Dev Planning and Qualifying to the beginning of the Product Dev portion of the INcubes 3 month curriculum. INcubes Mentors were [IN]office for group seminars and one on one INtensive Mentoring sessions with the founders from each of our 6 Startups.
We were pleased to have Gerard Buckley [IN] for his second Mentor Seminar. After leading Elevator pitch Practice, he gave a valuable talk on, Forming an Advisory Board. His sessions are always very informative and give our Startups much to think about in the future. @GerardBuckley

We are honoured to learn that [IN]cubes is fast becoming a recognized hub in this vital effort to foster for Canadian Entreprenialship and our culture of INnovation.
