TechStars U Presents "5 Secrets to a Killer Pitch" with Josh Baer Link: https://lnkd.in/d_baJ9sU These tactics outlined in the video can significantly enhance communication skills in both entrepreneurial and corporate contexts. Emphasizing the importance of clearly defining the problem, telling compelling stories, using simple language, crafting impactful closings, and rigorous practice can be instrumental. Whether pitching to investors, presenting ideas within a company, or proposing projects to teams, these strategies help individuals make their messages more engaging, memorable, and relatable. They are not only applicable in securing funding for entrepreneurial ventures but also in gaining support and approval for initiatives within corporate settings. The emphasis on simplicity in language ensures broad understanding, and the storytelling approach creates emotional connections, fostering better communication and collaboration. The importance of effective pitches, whether for new business ideas or internal proposals, cannot be overstated, and these tactics provide a valuable framework for success in both entrepreneurial and corporate careers.

I have always loved the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory… Aside from the chocolates, sweets and treats that kids (and adults) love to fantasise about, the narrative that sometimes you need to take a step forward, prove your worth with no obvious upside to eventually claim the BIG prize is something that is missed by so many of us. I work with 10’s of Founders and connectors globally and some of the opportunities we have to make meaningful impact on others and generate huge amounts of personal wealth are crazy. The biggest challenge is that there are far too many ‘Mike TV’s’, so many Violet Beauregard’s and Veruca Salts…people who only see the value of what’s in front of them and wonder why they never quite hit the heights… For me, the bigger prize has always been on the other side of uncertainty, it’s often involved me taking a chance, with no obvious upside…because being like ‘Charlie’ endears you to the people you wish to work with… If I could give one bit of advice it would be to take a chance, don’t seek immediate validation or reward. Just because you don’t yet know what’s behind the door, doesn’t mean there isn’t a pot of gold. NYC tech week from June 3rd-8th…have a bunch of Founder and Investor meetings and events but happy to connect… You know what to do. #bettercallpaul ☎️ #nyctech #tech

I've been keeping this a secret for a while... 🤫 I've only shared this resource with close friends & execs who want to determine if the company they're interviewing at will become the next unicorn. Everyone has told me that I should share this with the public given it's helped them optimize their winners and subsequently filter out the losers. For some, it's been the difference between a major career launching pad, while strategically avoiding that "smoke-and-mirrors" startup that is winding down. Excited to share the diligence framework that I use to assess companies with the world. Tap the "like" button and comment "T2D3" and I'll send you the doc in it's entirety. If we're not connected, make sure to add me. Here's a sneak peek:
