Investor Ready Pitch Practice Sessions
Pitching startups to investors is no easy task. Securing capital is a process and while it can be overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be.
Working with a pitch coach helps founders to sharpen their pitch. Sheppard Consulting Group and Sonder Impact are proud to host Investor Ready Pitch Practice Sessions for LA Tech Week to bring founders expert level pitch analysis before Demo Day.
These office hour style Pitch Practice Sessions give founders focused time to refine their 2 minute verbal pitch or receive a pitch deck analysis from award winning pitch coach, Amiah Sheppard, Thee Pitch Coach.
These Pitch Practice Sessions are designed for entrepreneurs (1) preparing to pitch investors at Demo Day and/or during LA Tech Week and (2) who would like to establish a strong pitching foundation and (3) raise capital from an accredited investor, Venture Capital, accelerator programs, pitch competitions, and/or other funding institutions.
Our Why
According to Crunchbase, only 1.2% of overall venture capital dollars in the U.S. so far has been invested in Black founders and only 100 Black founders have raised this year. We envision a VC ecosystem where all entrepreneurs with venture backable startups have access to the resources and funding necessary to grow sustainably.
At Thee Pitch Coach, we see how harnessing under-resourced founders’ unique value propositions through data informed pitching can create impactful funding opportunities that help them make the impact the world needs.
