Hi all,  
I'm looking for a template of a pitch for corporate sponsors for a planned coworking space. Has anyone a doc they would be willing to share that I could use?  
Thanks  
Ken

Two questions I recommend you consider:

Are you sure you need a corporate sponsor?

Are you sure you want a corporate sponsor that needs a pitch doc to make a decision?

Sorry this doesn’t directly answer your question but I’ve heard more bad things about having corporate sponsors than I have good.

Hi Jon,

Haven't much choice but to seek corporate sponsorship of the space - Crowdfunding hasn't really taken off in any great way here in Ireland. Our planned space is in a relatively small town, and while we'll be investing ourselves into it, the funding options after that are fairly limited - Is there other funding routes out there you'd suggest?

Hi Ken,

This approach written up by Alex a few years ago is very similar to the approach we took:
