Your goal is to find one with a story you can't stop reading. Each document has 5 seconds to make you care; if it doesn't, you reject it – Boom! – and pick up the next.</p> <p>Back to reality: You're a founder, you need capital, and you have 5 seconds to tell a story that grabs investors by the eyeballs and forces them to read. You may be an engineer, but you need to write like your future depends on it.</p> <p>Learn how to make your opening paragraph a compelling read in this hot seat workshop. Led by business writer Debra Hemminger, attendees will:</p> <p>• Evaluate and revise first paragraphs</p> <p>• Create a checklist of traits that make a compelling first paragraph</p> <p>• Use the checklist on their own first paragraphs to create an action plan.</p> <p>Bring the first paragraph of your exec summary to this event and get feedback from the group! Better yet, email your first paragraph to <a href="mailto:Debra@BeyondtheOutline.com">Debra@BeyondtheOutline.com</a> by May 8 with subject line "Hot Seat" to get even more feedback.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://otbc.org/exec_summ_hot_seat">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
