"We suck at telling our story!" Ever said that to yourself? You have this great product but you're either too technical, too in the weeds, or just say too much to get investors, customers, and stakeholders to listen.

It's not about what you say in a 60 minute meeting.

It's about what you say in the first. 60. seconds.

Join Startup Grind Chicago Chapter Director and Startup Hypeman Founder Rajiv 'RajNATION' Nathan who will share how to craft a 1-minute elevator pitch that turns heads and gets people to say, "wait wait -- tell me more!" Learn the exact strategies and formulas adopted by startups around the globe, plus see real pitches that have helped startups like HonestGame, Cyber Pop-Up, Sigo Seguros and dozens of others raise anywhere from $25k in competitions to $25 million from investors, plus secure customers and become the GOAT...To Market.

You should attend if you are between MVP and Series A stages, and plan to fundraise and/or sell your product in the next year.

At the end of the webinar you'll get information on how to enroll in a special bootcamp to build your pitch then showcase it at a live demo day event in New Orleans!
