LIVE Workshop
The Pressure Test™
Be Ready for the Tough Investor Questions. Before They're Asked.
How to Prepare for the Questions Investors Will Ask Before They Decide to Invest.
I speak VC
I've raised over $100 million for my own ventures and helped CEOs raise rounds ranging from $50,000 to $150 million.
I've sat across the table from some of the smartest investors in the business. I know what happens when they stop listening to the pitch and start testing the CEO behind it.
And that's what The Pressure Test™ is about.
This workshop works best if you're a startup CEO who is raising capital or about to raise capital and already has a pitch deck.
You've done the work on the slides.
Now you need to be ready for what happens when the questions start.
Your Pitch Deck Is Only the First Step
You spend weeks getting your pitch deck ready.
You work on the story. You tighten the slides. You practice what you're going to say.
Then you get in front of an investor.
The questions start.

And That's When The Real Test Begins
Because investors aren't just evaluating your pitch.
They're evaluating you.
Do you really understand what you're talking about?
Have you thought through your assumptions?
Have you considered the second and third order consequences?
Do you know what happens when you're wrong?
Too many CEOs aren't prepared for this.
They wing it. They hope the investor doesn't ask the question they don't want to answer.
And when the tough question comes, they dance, get defensive, or give an answer that falls apart under scrutiny.
You Can't Armwave Your Way Through This
You're dealing with really smart people on the other side of the table.
And if they can easily pick apart your arguments, they're learning something much more important than whether your pitch needs work.
You Have To Become Bankable
If you can''t show investors that you're bankable they will pass.
That's why being "fast on your feet" has almost nothing to do with being fast on your feet.
The Work Happens Before You Ever Enter The Room
And there's a way to prepare for those tough investor questions before an investor starts asking them.
That's what I'm going to teach you in The Pressure Test™.
The Five Pressure Tests You Need To Be Prepared For
I see the same situations trip up CEOs again and again when they meet with investors.
Some expose holes in your pitch. Others expose holes in your thinking. And some can cost you an investor's trust before you've had a chance to recover.
In The Pressure Test™, we'll work through all five so you're prepared before you're sitting across the table from an investor.
This is a LIVE, Working Session
We'll work together to prepare you for what happens when your pitch deck ends and the tough investor questions begin.
You'll learn how to pressure test your pitch, build deeper and more defensible arguments, answer tough investor questions, and get ahead of the difficult issues you know are going to come up.
Bring your current pitch deck. You'll put what you learn to work during the workshop, then I'll stay for live Q&A and live Pressure Test reviews.
If you've attended one of my workshops before, you know we stay until the work gets done.
