my startup has gone thru 3 demo days. none of the mentors or trainers even covered half of this. I mean, all this while, I only got advice on the slides. But no one told me why. And no one told me about how important my story is. My pitch is thousand times better now.

I just finished this course… and it really helped me figure out how to refine my pitch. It’s clear, concise, and packed with practical advice. Highly recommended!

Okay so, I gotta say, this course really opened my eyes. I’ve been pitching my startup for a while now, but I always felt like something wasn’t clicking with investors. I’d get through my pitch, but then the questions would start, and I’d realize that maybe I wasn’t addressing what really mattered to them. After going through this course, I realized I was making a lot of mistakes, like focusing too much on the product and not enough on the story behind it or what the investors actually care about. The exercises made me rethink my whole approach. I’ve reworked my pitch deck and practiced the new narrative, and honestly, I feel way more prepared now. If you're struggling to get your pitch right like I was, this course is a must. It’s not just about building a pitch; it’s about building the right pitch that really connects with investors.
