🔍 Are you preparing for a pitch? Do you find yourself facing any of these challenges?

• Coming from a technical background and unsure how to present yourself
• Over-depending on notes and trying to memorize every line, feeling you need a script to avoid freezing during your pitch
• Struggling to clearly articulate your startup's value to others
• Spending countless hours crafting your pitch with minimal payoff

This workshop aims to equip you with:

• A framework for effectively communicating your problem to pique investor interest
• Techniques to help you speak confidently without relying on notes, even in high-pressure situations
• Strategies to halve your preparation time while enhancing the strength of your pitch

🚫 This is NOT a generic public speaking or storytelling workshop. You'll receive evidence-based, actionable strategies grounded in the experience of coaching over 100 founders & scientists on their pitches. Plus, expect plenty of fun! 🎉

🎁 Extra Bonus:
Everyone attending in person will receive a free Pitch Playbook (valued at $30), featuring the exact strategies (including AI prompts, tools, and frameworks) designed to enhance your content while maintaining your scientific integrity.

⚠️ Important: Please register only if you can attend, as spots are limited!
