THE PITCH WORKSHOP

Learn the proven formula for success


" Fundraising is brutal. "
Paul Graham, Founder of Y-Combinator

Less than one percent of pitches get funded. Yet the stakes couldn’t be higher. If you sink months into your tech but ignore your pitch, you’re still an engineer not an entrepreneur. To garner investment and build a business, focus on your pitch.

This 45 minute pitch workshop gives you tools to win investment. Based on an analysis of over 1000 pitches and outlined in the book, The Startup Pitch: A Proven Formula to Win Funding,  you will learn exactly what separates a successful pitch from one that follows generic rules (and shows no differentiation).

The workshop is free. Thursday Feb. 10th at 10am PST. Sign up here:
