(May 20-22, 2024) In collaboration with the World Bank, we organized online workshops for the beneficiaries of our support programs, led by Helen Vasilevski, founder and CEO of FLECT. These workshops provided participants with the necessary tools and strategies for successful pitch planning and presentation.

The “Plan your Pitch” exercise helped participants understand the key elements of successful pitching to investors. Helen Vasilevski demonstrated the flow of a pitch presentation and explained the fundamental differences between private investors and public funds. She also assisted participants in developing a framework for their pitch presentations, focusing on the key aspects that investors want to see. She taught them how to turn their plans into clear and compelling messages that will capture investors’ attention.

The workshop significantly enhanced the participants’ pitching skills in front of investors. Through practical exercises and expert advice, participants learned how to efficiently plan and structure their pitch, increasing their chances of success in fundraising.

Helen Vasilevski is a renowned strategic advisor, skilled facilitator, and leader with extensive experience in the global consumer sector. Throughout her career, Helen has successfully transformed and scaled numerous companies, working with teams from early stages to billion-dollar revenues. Her expertise spans strategy, marketing, sales, and experience activation, and she is recognized as a highly effective coach and mentor focused on the personal and professional development of teams.

The Innovation Fund believes that companies gained valuable and significant experience through this workshop and looks forward to future workshops and continuing to provide this type of support to all our beneficiaries on their path to success.
