Pitch Bootcamp

Q What percentage of startups succeed in raising
capital to get their businesses off the ground?

A .05%,* That’s 1 in 2,000 – which means that the
competition is getting even tougher every day!

A surprising number of startups I’ve mentored in the last decade do not value pitching. This is misguided, especially if you hope to change the world (or your small corner of the world) with your Big Idea.

Aside from a well-formulated business plan and a solid financial model, a stellar pitch is the third most important element to raising money in today’s competitive environment. No startup will succeed if its founders can’t express what’s interesting about their companies and how they stand out from their competition.

JDC Pitch Bootcamp can run in conjunction with one-on-one mentoring.
