Pitch Without A Script (Pitch Workshop for Technical Founders)
Do you have a pitch coming up soon?
Does any of the following sound familiar?
You come from a technical background (PhD, engineering, software) and have never learned how to present yourself
You're actively preparing for an investor meeting, demo day, or accelerator application
In the past, you've practiced your pitch so many times that it sounds rehearsed, and yet you still blank under pressure
You know your idea is good, but people don't "get" it when you try to explain
In this workshop, you'll get:
A 3-part storytelling framework that makes investors lean in from the first sentence
A tactical strategy for structuring your pitch so you never need notes — even when you go off-script
Real reps in a low-stakes environment + networking with other technical founders
Tactical strategies for developing a BETTER pitch in LESS time
Past attendees have left on average 3 points more confident on a 10-point scale, and 100% said they'd recommend it to another founder.
This is NOT a generic "public speaking" or "storytelling" workshop.
You'll get evidence-based, actionable strategies based on my experience coaching 100+ founders & scientists on their pitches.
Plus, we'll have lots of fun 🎉
🎁 What else do you get?
Everyone who attends in-person receives a free Pitch Playbook ($30 value) — the exact strategies (AI prompts, tools, frameworks) that elevate your content while preserving your scientific integrity.
⚠️ Note: Please only sign up if you plan on attending — spots are limited!
