FreeHow to NOT suck at pitching your startup with Rajiv Nathan
Rajiv Nathan wants to help you create a game-changing elevator pitch.
When it comes to pitching to potential investors, too many investors rely on big numbers or too many buzzwords, Nathan says. Instead, they need to explain the benefit of their product to a single customer.
Nathan has developed a formula for coaching founders through the process of pitching. Since 2016, he has reached thousands of founders across all industries through his company Startup Hypeman. In 2019, Nathan launched a pitch competition for underrepresented founders and social impact startups. Two percent of Startup Hypeman’s revenue is allocated into a pitch fund as a prize for pitch winners.
On October 21, Nathan will host a webinar for Founders Network members where he will discuss how to craft a winning pitch.
