"Being able to work with a top US analyst like
Chris Shipley and getting her insight as well as input from VCs of this
calibre is a core strength of the ANZA Technology Network that I
haven't found anywhere else."

The Gateway Focus Workshops are the first step in our Gateway to the US program. These full-day workshops begin with a morning pitch session, in which you deliver your company pitch to our panel of expert market analysts including Chris Shipley of the Guidewire Group and VCs from Starfish Ventures. After engaging you in a brief Q&A following your pitch, the panel will give you feedback on US market trends and expectations and help you "focus" your presentation to grab hold of US investors, entrepreneurs and executives.
An afternoon session includes discussion of the cultural differences in the US market and business environment, applying the delta model and preparing an elevator pitch and audio logo, followed by delivery of your new pitch.
