Technical founders I work with possess deep knowledge of their products, but often struggle to distill this into a compelling pitch. The result? A barrage of technical terms spread over five slides, which more often than not, muddles the message for investors. Here’s the reality: all details may seem vital, but the goal is to highlight the differentiators of your tech, in a way that's easily understood and not overwhelming. After a decade in the lab, brevity isn’t just hard—it can feel like you’re underselling your life’s work. But it doesn't have to be that way. I'm challenging all the technical founders out there: give this product intro slide template a shot to refine and focus your thinking about your product. Drop your one liner in the comments and I'll share my feedback! #foundersuccess #fundraisingtips #startupjourney #raise

This year Techsylvania 2024 is introducing a new concept called "Office Hours with Investors," designed to provide exclusive opportunities for those interested to engage with investors from around the world. During these private meetings, founders will have the chance to pitch their business plans directly to investors, opening doors to potential funding and mentorship opportunities. To take this opportunity check the conditions below as well as the speakers and subjects from this year. Ah, and the discounts too. At #TechAngels we encourage founders to reach out, discuss their products and have as many conversations possible. This is why we organize #pitchdays every Tuesday offering early opportunities for mentoring and financing. We believe this is a fast way to check the ideas, gather new angels and pilot into greatness. #growingtogether #founders #angelinvestors #growsmart #smartgrowth

The #1 thing I LOVE since founding EasyIntro... the insane success we get for our Founders, here's one testimonial a previous client shared with a new applicant recently 🚀 🥳 We've built a streamlined process to get Founders back-to-back investor meetings. 1. Work 1-1 strategising with Founders to get them as VC ready as possible. Minimise the weaknesses, and maximise the strengths. We only accept ~20% of applicants to begin this process. 2. We then quickly connect Founders with our network of 1,000+ VC partners globally, getting them back-to-back meetings (similar to what most demo days get). 3. Result: Rapidly boost our Founders (Pre-Seed to Series B) to raise FASTER 🚀 Apply here: https://www.easyintro.vc/

I often ask people two questions: What is your gift, and what is your challenge? I believe that with dedication and consistency, we can unlock many gifts and solve numerous challenges. 🌱 Here's what my gift is: It's about bringing people together and unlocking potential. 🌟 Four years ago, I got involved in the co-creation of the Patio Network. It has become my favorite case study in the power of unity. With over 1500 representatives from 25 countries, all of us co-owners of our businesses, we are bringing something truly remarkable - catalysts for change together. All the effort is worth it when we see the results of our collaborative projects. Whether it's creating portals for hospitals, digitalizing university methodologies, implementing AI for efficiency, or partnering with startups to bring their ideas to life, the impact is truly rewarding. We offer technical expertise for sustainable businesses, drive the digitalization of social projects, and, most importantly, solve complex challenges. I would love to know, what is your challenge. Let's find common ground and start a collaboration. --- A big thank you to CECOP and CICOPA for organizing our first gathering last year. I am looking forward to many more inspiring events to come. A big thank you to Camplight | Your Digital Venture Builder for being a role model on this journey. #CommunityBuilding #Collaboration #Transparency #Camplight #PatioNetwork #SustainableBusiness #DigitalTransformation #Innovation
