Capital Investment Network Hosts Second Pitch & Mix Event to Build Momentum in Victoria

March 11, 2015

Pitch & Mix II, held last week at the Spacestation, was a fast-paced session where entrepreneurs were given the floor for five minutes to present their concepts to an audience of private investors actively looking for opportunities.

Networking followed the presentations to allow further discussion and encourage appointments between entrepreneurs and investors.
