Grilled: For those entrepreneurs who want to become investor ready, the grilled format will help you prepare & improvise your pitch. Investors will grill an entrepreneur with questions, concerns, and loopholes in the business that help prepare for the real pitch.

 Toasted: For those entrepreneurs who want to become capital ready, the toasted format will help you make your business more scalable and fundable. Investors will give inputs & feedback to improvise the business by acting as bouncing boards.
