FounderNV Presents From Expert to Partner: The Conversation Shift That Closes Deals with Irina Dzyubinsky

​Most founders don't lose deals because of their product. They lose them because of how they show up in the conversation.

​The default is "expert mode" leading with credentials, correcting the room, talking more than listening. You walk out feeling like you nailed it. Then you never hear back.

​In this session, Irina Dzyubinsky breaks down why that happens and shares a practical framework for shifting from pitching to partnering, including a real-time tool for reading any conversation, and how founders can use AI to practice high-stakes conversations before they count.

​Who it's for: Early-stage founders navigating investor and prospect conversations.
