#BuildPower 2023 is live! Here are some highlights from our kick-off: "Nothing was built for the relational and conversational structure of organizing. At Action Network and #ActionBuilder, we don’t build technology in a Silicon Valley style we build it in a cooperative development process!" —Martha Grant, Director of Product Strategy "Most of the technology in society is about transactions between people. That is not a pathway to building trust. The central point of organizing is to build trust. To effectively scale organizing, it is essential to build from the core and do what organizing should do, which is build communities." —Brian Young, ED of Action Network

Managing Director @ Pitch Hackerz | Mentor @ Techstars Oakland & NYC | Helped Founders & Fund Managers Raise $750M+
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/
