Investor Pitch Delivery Training.
Because how you pitch outweighs what you pitch.

Speaking skills • Lighting setup • Sound quality • Body language • Visual appearance

98% of entrepreneurs are turned away by investors…

…largely due to poor delivery.

Maybe it’s the way they speak, or bad lighting, poor sound quality, stiff body language, or inadequate visuals. Whatever it is, it signals a lack of attention to details.

So, um… could this be happening to you?

Well yeah, probably. Because unless you’re a trained speaker (meaning no more “ums” for starters!) and your presentation setup is optimized, investors don’t see your full potential.

 

 

 

 

Why blow your pitch now?

For goodness sake, you’ve invested so much into your startup! Why risk it by delivering an unpolished investor pitch?!?

 

 

 

 

Hi, I’m David Goldberg.

I’m one of the top Speaking & Presentation Feedback Coaches in the U.S.

I’m not another run-of-the-mill coach with vague goals like, “Engage your audience”.

Instead, I’m a super-detailed delivery coach, known for super quickly identifying numerous Speaking & Presentation issues that no one else catches and having an insanely easy way of breaking down how to fix them. It’s a game-changing approach other coaches don’t offer.

FACT: Investor pitches fail 98% of the time—often because entrepreneurs underestimate the power of a refined, professional delivery.

 

When I coach you, you’ll also learn how to:

  • Enhance your public speaking skills.
  • Increase your confidence during presentations…
  • …& learn how to hide nerves.
  • Soften accents.
  • Appear comfortable & confident.
  • Select the right microphone & set it up.
  • Acoustically treat your recording area so it is sound echo-free.
  • Set up proper lighting.
  • Strengthen your voice & energy.
  • And the optimal determine pacing & spacing.

 

Feedback, Coaching, & Classes

 

Investor Pitch Training Group Classes, in-person or Zoom, 10 to 1,000 students

  • Second Friday each month, 12noon-1pmET
  • Get the free Zoom link here.
  • Sponsored by the Tech Incubator.
  • These free feedback classes typically have 25 to 75 participants.
  • HOW IT WORKS
      • 1. Participants can volunteer to present their pitch – they’ll have 2 minutes.
      • 2. They’ll receive immediate feedback focused on the 5 key elements of delivery: Speaking skills, lighting setup, audio quality, body language, and visual appearance.
      • 3. Participants not up for volunteering, no worries! Observing others is equally as valuable—because hearing the “before and after” preps you to perform better in your own pitches.
      • 4. Either way, you’ll leave with a powerful and clear understanding of how to deliver your pitch to investors so your full potential comes across, and you appear on-top-of-your-game.
