BizOnDeck – A powerful opportunity to grow your business!
Imagine you have a team of creative, supportive, experienced people at your disposal. These are leaders who can help you grow your business, give you constructive feedback on your ideas, and fill your mind with advice and tips for business success. If you’re a small business, that might feel like a pipedream.
BizOnDeck makes it a reality.
When you go “on deck” at a BizOnDeck event, you get to put a room full of entrepreneurial minds to work on your business. You’ll get to pitch your business and ask for help with your most pressing challenges. Whether you’re in the early stages of a business or you’re a seasoned entrepreneur looking for fresh input, you can expect a wave of ideas and insights that you can turn straight into action.
And BizOnDeck isn’t only beneficial for the business that’s pitching. Everyone in the audience gets to learn from the feedback that’s being offered, and by giving feedback yourself you’re showcasing your own knowledge and letting people in your network get to know you (with no awkward small talk!)
BizOnDeck is for anyone:
- launching a new business or service
- needing to kickstart, pivot, or otherwise bring fresh ideas and insights into an existing business, or
- otherwise wanting to benefit from a “focus group” of local entrepreneurs.

We will workshop the first business “on deck” for 45 minutes. They give a 3 minute summary of their business, including opportunities, challenges, what they can give to the round table, what they need help with. We respond with 42 minutes of questions, feedback, and help. We also have a template that asks about customer/client acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and revenue (Pirate Metrics, see below).
PIRATE METRICS
We will draw on Boris Mann’s workshop using the Pirate Metrics model. For more on AARRR metrics, see http://j.mp/2DvbvrV

BizOnDeck has been instrumental in launching our business. Being able to get real feedback on the product and marketing strategies is absolutely invaluable. As a solopreneur, it feels like this group is part of my team so I am not alone on this adventure but have other business leaders around that help and actually care.
My first LIFT Event I attended was a BizOnDeck, I became a member right away! I was just in the audience and I still learned some great marketing ideas that I could use for my business. My experience as being a presenter was of HUGE value and I am now implementing new ideas into my business!
