Entrepreneur cafes to launch new ventures

From entrepeneur.com

A number of events (dubbed as entrepreneur cafes) have been held somewhere in USA to help launch entrepreneurial ventures.  It is a sort of gestation/germination events, where pitches are made for a new venture.  The funds that may be raised maybe small but that could be enough germ/seminal effort to start the venture.  We know that sometimes start ups are launched by amounts less than it costs a basic cellphone.

These events are characterized by "pitch".  In my entrep class, I ask for the students, to make a pitch - not just make a presentation but to make a pitch -  ie, to convince the audience to act, invest, or buy the product. Just talking wont do;   convincing, making  the sales pitch is the only way to go.

In the PHL, we should have this too;  perhaps colleges, internet cafes, vendors of coffee, Starbucks, Figaro, or fast food:   Jollibee, Mang Inasal, McDo could sponsor such entrepeneur cafe forum.

How about our business?  (memorial park?)
