I Speak VC

There's only so far you can go with YouTube videos, ChatGPT, or a done for you service that builds your deck but doesn't teach you anything. If you want to translate what makes your company tick into something investors instantly understand, you need to speak their language.

You need to understand how to make an emotional connection with investors in seven seconds or less. You need to understand how to create the right amount of detail in the right order, so you inform investors without losing them. In short, you need to learn to speak VC.

I speak VC. I've raised over $100 million in funding. And I've helped CEOs like you raise funding rounds between $50,000 and $150 million. I know what works. And I know what doesn't work.

Dan's Story

Dan had never created a pitch deck for venture capital. He put one together and showed it to his advisors. They told him it sucked.

He went back, reworked it, came back. They said, "Well, it sucks a little bit less." Dan was pretty frustrated. "So I started to look around about how I can fix this and what resources are available to me."

He found my free startup pitch deck template, put his own text in, and he shared it with the same advisors.

"And they said, 'now you're on the right track.' That's where the paradigm shifted, hit me. I was like, OK, I don't know the language that VC speak. So I was speaking my language, the language you love, and I love, like we build products and we create things. But we need to speak the language of the VC. Brett knows that language. He dials that in really quickly."

"So I signed up. Within two weeks. Had a ton of hands-on with Brett in his classrooms. Very accessible. We got the pitch deck dialed in."

"And just for fun, I sent it off to a pitch competition with Gust and HubSpot. And within two weeks (of signing up for ZTPG), I went from a pitch deck that sucked. And I was chosen as one of the five finalists out of all the hundreds of submissions."

"So just to give you a sense of what could happen to me could also happen to you. So I wish you the best of luck, but don't worry about pulling the trigger with Brett. He's great."

Here's how Zero to Pitch, Gold can help you.

The outcome is simple. To get you ready to raise funding now, with the right pitch deck, the right pitch, and the right investors identified, so you can close your round and run your startup.

$199 per month. No contracts. No long term commitment required. Cancel any time.

I'm going to work with a group of early stage CEOs and help them be ready to raise funding as fast as possible.

We'll do it with the perfect mix of group coaching, proven frameworks, office hours, and personal guidance from me.

Before Zero to Pitch, Gold, Jim tried three different pitch gurus. He said, "Any other deck I made looked like a book telling the whole story and not hooking the investor." That's the difference. Most resources teach you to explain your business. I teach you how to make investors lean in.

Phase 1: The Emotion Builder (30 days)

The clock is already running. Every day your deck sits unsent is another day of your runway that’s gone. We’ll fix that immediately.

We’ll start with the first four slides, the ones that make investors emotionally in or emotionally out. Then we’ll build the backend of your pitch deck that backs up the claims of your first four slides in the logical progression that investors expect.

CEOs like you who follow the process can get their pitch deck out the door fast, in 30 days or less, and start getting responses from the right investors. That's exactly what we're going to do together.

By the end of Phase 1, your deck is ready to send and the right investors are already responding.

Phase 2: The Pitch Mastery (60 to 90 days)

A pitch deck that gets meetings is just the beginning.

Now we’ll work on a pitch that makes investors choose you. We’ll start with the emotional connection you need to establish in the first seven seconds. Because investors decide emotionally before they decide logically.

Then we’ll take you beyond the deck entirely. Because investors are making a bet on you, the CEO. And by the end of Phase 2, investors are choosing you, wanting to work with you for the next 7 to 10 years.

Phase 3: The Growth Machine (12 months)

Your funding round is closed.  Your company is operational, and you're running your startup.  Now the fun begins.

The first stop on your journey once you're running your startup is $1 million in ARR.  It's what I call the Mendoza Line for startups.  In baseball a player is not considered a true professional until his batting average is over .200.  For your startup, it's getting to $1 million in ARR.

It seems like such an easy challenge, but most startups never get there. I've helped multiple startup CEOs grow to greater than $1 Million ARR, greater than $10 million ARR, and even greater than $100 million ARR.  And, I'll help you too on your journey.

Here's what a week inside Zero to Pitch, Gold actually looks like.

Conroy, CEO and Founder of Intuitive Neurons, put it this way: "Brett with Zero to Pitch Gold is helping to refine my pitch and build my startup through daily office hours sessions and course material. I am also gaining valuable insights from other CEOs present at the stage."

You'll have access to my office hours, where you bring your pitch deck, your pitch, your term sheet, and your investor questions, and get real time feedback and guidance from me. You'll also be in the room with other CEOs working through the same problems, which means you're learning from their questions too, not just your own.

Throughout all three phases you'll have access to my office hours where you can bring your pitch deck, your pitch, your term sheet, your investor questions, and get real time feedback and guidance from me.

$199 per month. The price never increases. No contracts. No long term commitment required. Cancel any time.

You get 14 days to see if this is the right fit. If it's not, let me know and I'll refund you, no questions asked. After that, you're not locked into anything. No long-term contract. Stay as long as the program works for you.

It's a focused group so I'm looking for the right fit.

So if you...

1. Are an early stage CEO who is serious about raising money.
2. Have a company that’s beyond the idea stage.
3. Are a clear thinker.
4. Are willing to take feedback.
5. Are willing to do the work in the classroom and between sessions.
