Million Dollar Pitching

"Your Idea is worthless if you can't sell it!"

Why Design a New Methodology?

When founders approach any business challenge, they often rely on sophisticated methodologies to ensure success. Whether it's Design Thinking, Business Model Canvas, or another tool from the founder's extensive toolkit, these frameworks are essential for startup growth and strategy development. However, when it comes to pitching, many entrepreneurs fall back on basic templates. "Dr. Google" and superficial tips from so-called "experts" who often lack firsthand experience from the stage.

With "1M$ Pitching," I aim to change this outdated approach. The Million Dollar Pitching methodology was developed through my own experiences as a founder, combined with insights gathered from analyzing thousands of startup pitches. It goes beyond quick fixes and provides a comprehensive, systematic framework for pitch development that can help founders improve their pitches and their pitching skills continuously.

The 1M$ Pitching methodology not only enhances the quality of pitch decks but also elevates the presenter’s confidence and pitching skills, making it easier to connect with investors and other stakeholders. Whether you're preparing to pitch to investors, present to a corporate audience, or expand your business into new markets, the 1M$ Pitching approach equips founders with the tools and skills they need for success sustainably.

It’s time to replace outdated tips & tricks approaches with a proven, repeatable method designed for long-term success.

Workshops

First and foremost I provide a full day offline/onsite workshop, enabling founders to design their first storyline and pitch text in one day by using the 1M$ Pitching method.

Participants will be introduced to the entire new view on pitching.

During the workshop they will work on designing a storyline and pitch text. After one full day of hands on collaboration they will have completed their first cycle with the 1M$ Pitching methodology, and have a strategy on how to design winning pitches.
