🚀 Exciting News! On May 23rd, I'll be joining the panel of judges at the VC Fast Pitch Competition in St. Petersburg, FL, hosted by Black Dog Venture Partners and Scott Kelly. 🌟 Engaging with startup founders and discovering their innovative visions is always a highlight for me. The Founder Institute's One Minute Pitch offers a dynamic framework that helps founders to present their ideas succinctly and impactfully. 🔑 Key elements of a standout pitch include: - Defining Your Offering: What are you bringing to the table? - Understanding Your Customer: Who are you serving? - Solving a Problem: What significant issue does your product address? - Highlighting Your Unique Value: What is your "secret sauce"? - Market Potential: What is the market size, and who are two well-known comparables? - Company Status: Provide a snapshot of your team, product, and funding stage. - The Ask: Clearly state what you're looking for from investors. 📈 Remember, it’s crucial to articulate what’s in it for the listener—this connection can make all the difference! Looking forward to seeing the innovative pitches and the energy of the entrepreneurial community! 🎤 Leave your tips for startup founders in the comments.

Do you dream of securing funding for your startup? We sat down with exited founder Thomas J. Vosper, who shares his story of resilience and determination in landing not one, but two funding deals. Learn from his journey and discover what it takes to be in the top 1% of successful startups on Founded & Grounded. He walked us through the sheer scale of his fundraising journey: 600 investors reviewed, 400 meetings, and a whole load of 'no's. It's about resilience, adaptability, and the willingness to take on feedback and learn from it. It's about the grind and the unwavering belief in what you're building. But let's be clear: this isn't the norm. It's not an easy road, and it's one that few founders manage to navigate successfully. Thomas' journey put him in the top 1% of startups. It's an incredible achievement, but it doesn't come without its share of hard work and heartache. What's your fundraising journey been like? Share your experiences and tune in to hear more about Thomas' journey. #fundraising #investment #mindset #founder
