Brutally Honest Pitch Feedback - Cold Reads with Chris Howard
How many times have you sent a pitch deck, asked for an intro, or spoken to an investor, just to hear "sorry - it's not a fit"?
Normally, that's code for "I don't believe you!". Rarely do good investors pass on good startups. As such, it's important to know when your pitch, deck, or conversation falls foul of the 'BS detector' most investors have built into their psyche.
To help solve this, Chris Howard, Impact Hustlers fundraising coach runs 'cold reads', a way that of providing radically honest pitch feedback that he runs regularly for entrepreneurs at MIT and Techstars.
A 'cold read' involves a seasoned and experienced investor 'reading aloud' all of their thoughts - as they think them - when they see a pitch deck for the very first time.
To say when confidence is won or lost, and what red (or green) flags are hoisted in the process.
This event will 'cold read' up to three pitch decks, live.
Not only that, time permitting, Chris will attempt to 'redraft' each pitch deck, live, to improve the odds of passing that 'BS filter' - to get that meeting.
Submit your pitch deck in the event registration form for a chance to get some brutally honest feedback.
