Greetings, Seattle Startup Grinders!

Are you ready to transform your startup pitch from "just another deck" to "the one they'll never forget"? Well, mark your calendars for April 30th because we have something special brewing just for you.

We're thrilled to announce an exclusive Fireside Chat with the legendary venture capitalist, Bill Bryant, at our next Startup Grind event. With a jaw-dropping track record of reviewing over 15,000 pitch decks, Bill is more than just a figure in the venture capital world; he's a treasure trove of insights, advice, and anecdotes that could be the key to unlocking your startup's potential.

What's on the Agenda?

This isn't your run-of-the-mill networking event. We're diving headfirst into the art and science of crafting pitch decks that not only capture attention but also win hearts (and investments). Bill will share his unparalleled expertise on what distinguishes a good pitch deck from a bad one, drawing on examples from history's most memorable pitches. Prepare for an enlightening journey through the good, the bad, and the ugly of pitch decks, with plenty of humor (and humility) along the way. And did we mention the food and wine that will be served throughout the event? Trust us, you won't want to miss it.

Why Should You Attend?

Expert Insights: Learn from a VC who's seen it all. Bill's feedback is gold for anyone looking to impress investors.
Interactive Analysis: Watch as Bill dissects real pitch decks from history. It's like a live case study session, but with more laughs and learning.
Networking Opportunities: Mingle over food and drink with fellow entrepreneurs and potential investors in Seattle's vibrant startup ecosystem.

Who Should Attend?

Whether you're in the ideation stage or already pitching to investors, this event is a must-attend for any entrepreneur who believes in their startup's potential. If you're looking to refine your pitching skills, seek candid feedback, or simply soak in stories from the startup trenches, you'll find yourself in good company.

Mike Grabham, Co Director

Mike is an optimistic problem solver. My word is Learn. I do it constantly.
By nature, I am a curious leader who has experienced success, failure and everything in between. (6X founder). I spend the largest majority of my time helping founders make better decisions from countries around the globe, and get their companies to the next level. That is how I make a living.
I was one of the first Startup Grind directors outside of Silicon Valley and was voted Director of the Year in 2016. I have interviewed over 200 leaders in the Seattle area at Startup Grind. I love helping others optimize companies/teams and enjoy the collaboration process to figure out how to create more value for a customer. I have raised millions of dollars from angel investors, sold two companies, closed a company, and failed once. Shoot me an email if you would like to touch base. I even created a guide to help founders make better decisions.

Shawn McGaff, Co Director

I've worked with over 750 businesses on projects from branding to advertising to SEO. I now primarily focus on creating & operationalizing cohesive strategies for early and growth-stage ventures as well as guiding established businesses looking to reinvent themselves.
I am a builder at heart with a strategic marketing skillset. I have a technical developer background from writing recommendation algorithms for Twitter and building countless websites but I also have a creative side as a photographer and filmmaker. This sets me up perfectly to work with startups who need cross-functional teams. I am as comfortable with a product team as I am with a sales team.
