In preparation for the upcoming Ohio Business Matchmaker, we will be offering Virtual Mock Matchmaker Pitch Sessions – which will allow small businesses the opportunity to present/pitch their company capabilities to a panel of judges. The judges will review presentations and provide feedback on each company’s pitch, and their Capability Statement. These pitch sessions will help prepare companies to meet one-on-one with government buyers at the Ohio Business Matchmaker event.

Presentation Format:

Virtual pitch sessions will be scheduled in 20 minute intervals. Each small business will have 7 minutes to pitch; immediately following the panel of judges will have 10 minutes to provide feedback; and 3 minutes will be allotted to transition to the next session. We will offer 4 Virtual Matchmaker Pitch dates. There will only be 6 pitch sessions per date, each for just 20 minutes.
