As part of the RITES (Role of the Engineer in Business and Society Transformation) project initiated by the Board of the Ecole Centrale de Lille, a “reverse pitch” on the theme of entrepreneurship will take place online this Tuesday, June 1st at 6pm (connection link on Teams).
Three graduates of the Ecole Centrale Lille (graduation year 1999 and 2000), who founded their company, will present their respective careers in an original way. Each entrepreneur will have a 7- minute pitch to explain their idea, concept, and the core principles of the entrepreneurial adventure in which they are embarking, as if they were just presenting their idea to a panel of investors.
The public, who will play the role of investors, will then have 7 minutes to ask questions and try to understand the project as best they can. Finally, the speakers will have 7 minutes to take a leap into the present and explain their journeys since the start of their business, their successes, their failures and try to give their advice to those who would like to get started.
