Ritz Group 2020 Events
In 2019 the Ritz Group produced over 25 member-based events consisting of Shark Attack, Angel Clubs, Entrepreneur Clubs and Private Equity Training for Entrepreneurs
DIGITAL SHARK ATTACK
Digital Shark Attack is NEW for 2020.
The Ritz Group is proud of producing over 50 Shark Attacks, screening over 1,000 companies, helping over 150 companies pitch, and welcoming over 70 Sharks to judge. In 2020 our goal is to extend this experience and take it to the next level. We believe the path is going digital and conducting the shark attacks online monthly.
This will enable us to feature MORE companies and enhance the learning experience for non-presenting entrepreneurs who attend. More importantly, our "live" aiessments wistors investors who want contact for a second date. The ability to capture the session online has the advantages to archive the session, but also post it for on-demand review by investors who were not able to attend. The archive will also be posted on the presenters profile on the Ritz Group Member profile - Powered by Brite Idea Lab. (learn more)
