Raising Money Isn’t About Having the Perfect Deal. It’s About Telling the Right Story.
Have you ever had a great investment opportunity, business idea, development project, or partnership opportunity—but struggled to explain it clearly enough for someone else to get excited about it?
You’re not alone.
Many investors spend years learning how to find deals, analyze properties, and build wealth, yet never develop the ability to confidently communicate their vision to potential investors, lenders, partners, or clients.
And in today’s market, the people who can communicate clearly often win opportunities before the people with the best deals.
That’s why we’re excited to welcome Grant Lawrence to the June OREIG event.
Grant brings more than two decades of experience in the software industry, including leadership roles with startups and established companies where presenting to investors, stakeholders, customers, and decision-makers was part of everyday business. Today, Grant serves as a mentor, Executive in Residence, and Investor in Residence with organizations including UBC Okanagan, Foresight Canada, Innovate Calgary, and Accelerate Okanagan, helping entrepreneurs and business leaders build compelling pitch decks, raise capital, and communicate ideas that get results.
During this practical and highly actionable presentation, Grant will show you how to create a powerful 10-minute pitch that captures attention, builds credibility, and inspires action.
Whether you’re:
Raising money for a real estate deal
Looking for joint venture partners
Presenting a development opportunity
Growing a business
Selling products or services
Building your personal brand
…the ability to clearly communicate your opportunity is one of the highest-value skills you can develop.
You’ll learn:
What investors and decision-makers actually want to hear
The key elements of a winning pitch
Common mistakes that cause people to lose credibility
How to simplify complex ideas
How to communicate confidence without sounding salesy
Practical frameworks you can immediately apply to your own presentations
As always, you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with local investors, entrepreneurs, realtors, contractors, business owners, and growth-minded people from across the Okanagan.
The relationships you build in one evening can be just as valuable as the lessons you learn from the stage.
If you’re serious about growing your business, raising capital, attracting partners, and creating more opportunities, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
