PROVIDENCE - (January 4, 2022) - The Rhode Island Business Competition's workshop "Business Pitch Deck Development" will be held on Thursday, January 13th at 5:00 PM hosted by CIC – District Hall Providence as well as being live streamed. Our presenters are Professor Adam Rubin, a Lecturer in the Management Department at Bryant University; and Nick Cianfaglione, a serial entrepreneur whose most recent company, Artist Republik, raised over $2 million in under 18 months before a successful acquisition by a publicly traded music company.

This interactive workshop will detail all the different aspects of a business pitch deck, including background and financial information, goals of the business, and description of how the business will be a success. A business pitch deck is a critical document because it showcases the entrepreneur's passion and desire to launch and grow a viable business. It can be a tricky task to complete a business pitch deck, especially for a startup when several questions still need to be answered, so this is a worthwhile workshop that will provide the resources an entrepreneur needs as well as an understanding of how to create an investor-ready business plan.

This event is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required - please visit here to register; For more information, please visit www.ri-business.com.
