I'm running new pitch opportunities for some of the most promising pre-seed to Series A companies to present in front of top-tier angels. Through my coaching and consulting work, I’ve been closely working with talented founders, helping them refine their investment propositions, pitches, and narratives to secure the right funding. Having successfully helped others complete their funding rounds - I've seen firsthand just how vital access to strategic angel capital is at this stage. At Thim Ventures, we’re hosting our angel investor meetings where a select group of companies present their opportunities to our angel network. This time, we've expanded our reach by bringing in external angels, creating even more exposure for securing investment. The result? Engaging discussions, fresh insights, and new connections. We’re already seeing meaningful relationships forming, leading to post-due diligence conversations. If you're looking to close an angel round or need targeted advisory support, drop me a message. You can find our intake form hyperlinked to my profile. I’m curating our next round of pitching opportunities for a limited number of presentation slots, to be selected by the end of next week. And for angels interested in joining our next investor meeting, reach out—I’d be happy to share more details. We can kick-off post summer by creating more opportunities to close funding! 🚀 #pitching #angelinvestment #angelgroup #fundraising #investment

If you're building in #insuretech, you've likely heard of Galen Shaffer from Eos Venture Partners. Had a great time listening to her yesterday at a 360 investor round table in Santa Monica. Hot takes for founders: -- A Product-Market Fit indicator is having 3 to 5 contracts signed. -- Be clear about fundraising intentions. Vagueness or casualness can send the wrong signals. You either ARE raising, or not. -- Don't approach 100 investors at once. Take a measured, incremental approach. -- Know your path to breaking even.

Check out my latest episode with Dan Conner, CFA, FSA. Vikram Lakhwara & I loved hearing about his childhood all over the world, surfing a hurricane, and learning about the one book that influenced his thesis. I also loved how he shared how he uses thoughtful gifts to create product storytelling that can help founders find PMF faster. So much to learn from Dan, listen in!

Thanks to Michigan Venture Capital Association and Ara Topouzian for a great networking evening. My takeaway about networking is in the video. For more tips download The Hill Street Group Guide to Empowering Your Voice https://lnkd.in/giUZ9TxQ
