Thanks to the support of Spark Festival and The Sydney Startup Hub, Startmate is hosting a Pitch Coaching + VC Mindset Workshop to help founders hone their pitch. The workshops are free and sell out fast.

The workshop is hosted by Startmate CEO James Tynan. Previously James was based in the US where he helped take Khan Academy from YouTube success to the biggest ed-tech organisation in the world. As VP of Strategy and Operations he built and ran Partnerships (raising $40m in revenue), Marketing (first brand campaign), and the ~$8M/yr educator and classroom business. Before that he built movements with Purpose.com and helped start the Healthcare practice at McKinsey & Co Australia. He holds a law degree and university medal from UTS.

This is an awesome opportunity to learn from Australia's leading accelerator program on how to craft the best possible story for your startup, and understand how VC's think.

The pitch coaching workshops cover:

• What is an investor pitch?

• What is the ideal format and length?

• How to structure a one-liner.

• What are the key elements of the pitch - problem, solution, team, timing, traction and ask.

• Best practices for deck design and flow.

• Common mistakes and how to avoid them.

• What not to include in the pitch!

• Example slides from successful pitch decks.

• Live review of founder decks for immediate feedback.

The workshops held to date have had exceptional feedback with founders rating them 9.1/10 on average.

Places are limited and have been oversubscribed in the past.

See you there!
