Ministry of Awesome's STARTUP BREAKFAST CLUB powered by MYOB is made for all you budding entrepreneurs and start-ups in Christchurch. This is your monthly morning caffeine hit where you will find valuable social networks, gain business insight, and find the critical support you need to power your business forward.

At our next Breakfast Club, we’ll be exploring the importance of telling your story – how you can formulate your pitch to best tell and reflect your business idea. With the help of our panelists, we’ll take you through the process of developing your elevator pitch, right through to gaining total clarity for your value proposition and relevance.

We’ll be joined by Michael Philpott, Co-Founder of Smart & Wise, Gerald Carter, Chair of Canterbury Angels, and Margaret Pickering, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Stickmen Media, who'll all be sharing their advice and experience.

Thanks to our friends at MYOB there will be breakfast treats to keep your brain and tummy wide awake, and our friends at The Sailors Son will provide free-flowing coffee. It's an absolutely FREE event, so claim your spot by registering now!

You won't want to miss this great opportunity to network with like-minded entrepreneurs and to learn from industry veterans who have been through the start-up process and can help you along your journey.

Register by April 3rd to secure a position.
