Welcome to MG Pitch Academy’s Pitch Lab!
This page will give you an overview of all you need to know about Pitch Lab, including what it is, what we need from you, your teams, event details, and also a place where you can house all the documents we will be using for the initiative.
Get ready to put your Pitch Academy training to action in our MG Pitch Lab!
Pitch Lab is a 2-day workshop where you have the opportunity to experience the fast-paced, complex, and exhilarating nature of a pitch. You will work in groups, tackling a Q&A, Written Response and Pitch Presentation based off a real pitch. Your responses will be judged by our expert judging panel, and one of your teams will be given the noble title of first ever Pitch Lab winners!
