In this one-hour workshop, OKR Financial will share the 13 steps that every pitch deck should have, and most importantly, why these steps represent exactly what investors want to hear. A pitch deck that works gets capital raised, so join us and our expert, Bhavik Chauhan - Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at OKR Financial, in creating the perfect funding proposal.

The Greater Stouffville Chamber is pleased to offer Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as part of our initiative to enhance member engagement and connectivity. These SIGs are communities within our Chamber that focus on advancing specific areas of interest, fostering collaboration among members with shared goals.
Currently, we have launched two SIGs:
Each SIG is led by a Chamber member and is designed to drive change and produce solutions through communication, meetings, and organized events. These groups provide unique opportunities to network with peers, share resources, and develop strategies to address challenges specific to their focus area.
Participation in a SIG is exclusive to Chamber members, making it an excellent opportunity for professional growth and community building. If you or someone you know is interested in joining one of our SIGs, please contact us at taya@stouffvillechamber.ca for more information and to secure your spot.
