About Event

Hey Founder:

Are your investor meetings going as well as you were hoping? Do you sense you might be losing their active listening because your slide deck is too crowded with too much data, words and graphs? Is your closing rate limping along? If you answered yes to any of these (or all of them) then this workshop is for you.

You’ll learn a new and proven way* on how to take control of the meeting by directing their attention more on you and your words, rather than staring confused at a loaded data deck. You’ll see how storytelling the problem will emotionally connect your audience far faster, and more effectively than any pie chart.

And you’ll start to learn how to tell your stories more vividly and vibrantly. From dull to dynamic; vague to vivid. That’s where Story Fruition can help!

In this workshop you will see many before & after examples of slide decks, to help you quickly learn the do’s and don’ts of high-performance pitching. You’ll learn to suppress that natural urge every founder has to show off every bit of support data they’ve ever gleaned, and instead show only the most concise and credible info needed to grab their attention and leave them asking for more. (And to move those data packed graphs and tables into the appendix, in case someone does ask a specific question.)

Whether you’re preparing to pitch at an investment conference, a VC team, or a single angel investor one-on-one, you’ll attain the skills to keep their attention rapt on your big takeaways, not the small bits of data that distract from your message.
