Technical Founder Pitch Coaching
Your start-up could change the world. But you need investors on your team to make it happen.
Does it ever feel like potential investors just don’t “get it”? Like they aren’t listening or they miss what makes your start-up great?
As experts in their subject matter and business, technical founders can struggle to simplify and translate the most compelling aspects of their company. This is called the curse of knowledge, and it’s real.
Technical founders tend to...
Bury the lead
And leave the most important points to the end – after they’ve lost their audience.
Get too technical
In an attempt to achieve academic-levels of percision.
Confuse
With jargon and abstractions that confuse non-experts.
Miss the big picture
By getting into the weeds and going down rabbit holes.
Turn your communication into an asset.
Nail your 25 words.
Sam Altman says successful founders can explain what they do in 25 words:

What our clients say...
Whenever it was my turn to talk to investors, it felt like I confused them.
Working with Maryrose, I was able to see how I overwhelmed potential investors with TMSI (too much scientfic information).
Instead, I figured out how to share the best parts of our company in a way that made investors excited to keep talking to us and get into the nitty gritty.
Without the message development I did with Maryrose, I was missing what made our company excellent.
