Our 2nd stop on The Road to Creative U! In collaboration with the talented team at Midnight Oil Collective we're bringing you an immersive learning experience designed to take your pitching skills to the next level. Inspired by the success of leading startup accelerators like Y-Combinator and Techstars, this workshop is all about empowering you to craft compelling pitches that command attention and drive results. Now, you might be wondering, why is learning how to pitch and create pitch decks so crucial for entrepreneurs like us? 🚀Let me break it down:🚀 1️⃣Capture Attention: In today's fast-paced world, grabbing attention is half the battle. With a killer pitch, you can cut through the noise and capture the attention of investors, partners, and potential customers. 2️⃣Communicate Value: A well-crafted pitch isn't just about flashy slides – it's about clearly articulating the value proposition of your business or idea. By mastering the art of storytelling, you can effectively communicate the benefits of your offering and inspire action. 3️⃣Build Credibility: As entrepreneurs, building credibility is essential for gaining trust and attracting support. With a polished pitch deck, you can showcase your expertise, professionalism, and vision, earning the confidence of potential stakeholders. 4️⃣Drive Results: Ultimately, the goal of pitching is to drive action. Whether it's securing funding, forming strategic partnerships, or winning over customers, mastering the art of the pitch can be a game-changer for turning your dreams into reality. So, are you ready to unlock your full potential and become a master pitcher? Join me on May 9th at 6pm for this transformative workshop, held conveniently via Zoom .

How can your Pitch tell a Story? In the 1990s some of my friends joined an improvised comedy-theatre group. The audience would shout out ideas, and they would invent and perform a play in response. This worked surprisingly well, as they adapted proven frameworks to fit their needs. One of the most popular was the ‘Hero’s Journey’. It begins with our Hero’s everyday life, from which they are called away to adventures before eventually returning. Many professional storytellers use such frameworks. As Daniel Pink explains in his book ‘To Sell is Human’, industry giants such as Pixar also use them to great success. So, here’s a cheeky example inspired by Pink’s ‘Pixar Pitch’. Many phrases familiar to entrepreneurs follow similar patterns to these, for instance beginning your Pitch with ‘Did you know..’. These help the narrative to flow logically through your presentation. Telling your Pitch as a Story can help Investors engage with it, and help you handle any difficult questions they throw at you! The first Pitch and Judge of Accelerate Cambridge’s Spring 2024 Programme is Thursday 25th January. Do register and come along to hear our ventures' stories at Cambridge Judge Business School. If you’d like to discuss how your Pitch can tell a Story, then please get in touch! For those of you on Accelerate, I’m available as a Guest Mentor. #AccelerateCambridge #startupmentor

Unit 6 reflection: Coming to the end of second semester and the end of Business INCubator, there’s been a lot of growth and experiences I wouldn’t have expected. I had some small goals in the beginning, just like coming up with a business idea to actually create, and to just learn about all the different fundamentals of business and actually understand it. The biggest goal I had was to make it to pitch night and to think out of the box in this class. I had never done a class like this before so I really didn’t know the expectations of this class, so I just had goals created off what I wanted out of this class. I’m very pleased with how my experience went, I made most of my goals (including pitch night) and learned a lot more than I would’ve expected. I’m glad I took risks and had an open mind going into this class because I think it would’ve gone a lot differently if I hadn’t done this. This class gave me a lot of insight and advice that I’ll keep with me even after I graduate. Some things were to keep thinking outside of the box, don’t doubt yourself, and if you do doubt and idea, still try it because it can turn around and become a good thing. I also learned that being under pressure is a good thing sometimes, because the rewarding feeling I have received in this class will be unforgettable. I have no regrets taking Business INCubator and will always remember this class and the lessons made.

This material with its story line and content can make you win or lose, therefore a high level of effort and know-how should be put into creating this presentation material. In addition to the material one will also need to know how to present it. After reviewing over +1000 Pitch Decks, we have noticed a lack of consistency in the content and very often missing information that are crucial for investors. Even though we had written an article in K2Match Voices giving a good guidance on how to construct a winning Pitch deck. We have noticed that 95% of the Pitch Decks still have some major content gaps. Since K2Match Mission is to help startups in general and in particular to be investor ready. We decided to create a compact Pitching and Pitch Deck Masterclass. We recommend to each startup to book this Masterclass to optimize your Pitch Deck and to put all the chances on your side while presenting to an investor. The Masterclass takes 3 hours and is split into 4 sessions. It starts with a Kickoff Session, followed by a Coaching & Mentoring Session and a Review Session, then ends with a Wrap Up Session. At the end of the Masterclass, you will have a 10 Slide Pitch Deck and be ready to convince in 90 seconds your investors audience. You will also be prepared to answer their burning questions.
