FUND RAISING PITCHES
Unleashing the perfect pitch
Do you have brilliant founders and leaders who sometimes struggle with connecting, generating trust, and inspiring investors to actually write a check? I can help them master the art, magic and science of the perfect pitch.
Making you believable and memorable.
Developing a compelling story to quickly deepen trust.
This works because it is rooted in science.
With $1M on the line, it was potentially the most difficult speaking engagement you could imagine. Because of my preparation and previous coaching, I was calm, confident, and felt connected to the judges. Today, I'm happy to share some pretty big news... the State of Ohio awarded us $1M (no strings attached) to help accelerate our time to market.

WORKING WITH ME
Bespoke pitch development and coaching. Win the competition.
Through a customized approach rooted in the neurobiology and science of effective communication, I help you conquer nervousness, clarify your message, engender trust and deeply connect with your audience. Go from being in the running, to winning.
Have you ever wondered why they got the investment, or why you didn’t?
The potential funders loved your idea. They loved your team. They thought the market would be receptive… But, they wanted to think about it a little longer, and it didn’t happen. A great idea, team, and business plan are necessary, yes!
But, they are certainly not sufficient!
Even though you have a great idea, a great product, and a great team, you must to be able to communicate it very well, or your business will languish and die while an inferior idea, product, and team rise to prominence. Don’t let that happen. Let me support you in getting the YES.
WHAT TO EXPECT
I will work with you and your team on everything from content and strategic messaging to in-person and online delivery so that you go in confident, ready for anything and prepared for success.
I’ve refined my pitch methodology over three decades, first for myself and my teams, and now for others, into a proven, reproducible, effective method that will work for anyone who learns and applies it.
Once you’re out delivering your pitch we will continue to meet in order to debrief and iterate your pitch into an ever more effective tool for raising funds, bringing in desired partners and clients.
