Investment Grade Pitch Decks, Business Plans, and Market Research

I'm the founder of a VC-backed tech startup, and areas of specialization include Healthcare, Cleantech, IoT,Technology applications, Social/consumer apps, and "Customer Discovery" Are you planning to raise capital from angels, venture capitalists, institutional investors, or strategic partners/investors? Or perhaps apply for admission into an incubator or accelerator. Are you in need of a pitch deck, business plan, or growth strategy development? Even the most experienced mountain climbers would not attempt scaling Mount Everest without a Sherpa - why should you? You realize how critical it is to present a compelling case as to why an investor or strategic partner would consider your company. Over 95% of all startups that pitch to investors never receive funding. Correct – over 95%. Why? Because angels and venture capitalists are risk-averse and only consider the "best of the best," you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. According to Sequoia Capital, a potential investor spends less than 4 minutes looking at a pitch deck. That's 4 minutes to get your message across and hopefully schedule a follow-up meeting. Here is where I can help. In addition to developing your pitch deck and business plan, I will guide you and identify specific investors you should contact and mentor you. In addition to starting my own company and raising $5 million from venture capitalists, I am an early-stage investor, mentor, and accomplished executive that works with startups and early-stage companies on the path toward capital raise and commercialization. Having worked with and for many angels and venture capital firms, their message is clear regarding pitch decks - substance over form. I will assist in developing your value proposition, customer discovery (who are your potential customers), target market size, and go-to-market strategy and provide whatever research is needed to create a compelling investment opportunity. You have less than 4 minutes to make your case as to why any investor would commit their money to your startup. I will help you address the problem, walk through your solution, your team, your timing, your revenue model—and then the most crucial element - how your potential investors can make a 10x return. My experience includes the development of investable pitch decks, business plans, and startup strategies gained from closely working with these VC firms. This knowledge is further enhanced from senior executive and CEO positions with over eight technology companies, the mentoring of over 60 startups as well as the executive management of a world-renowned technology incubator.
