You are lucky, I wish I had this video two years ago. No wonder my first startup seed raise failed. I am going to use the lessons learned here and the advices I got in the past to perfect my pitch for my next startup.

Thank you Michael - I just won the London Business School Booster Pitch Nights and your advice was instrumental.

i.e. 80 accurate, 100 clear

you can tell when advise is from someone who's been there, and this is it. great stuff

Working on my own invention for the first time. Resources and help and finding people to help with the right path is tough. Your precise communication and very descriptive situations will help me and my company greatly. Just doing the pitch deck portion currently. Appreciate your video.

Been in SaaS sales for reputable pre and post IPO companies and can attest, this is spot on.

22:52 when you see pick of interest in part of your pitch go with it,stick to it and get them talking. Most important part of your this video.

'Pique' of interest.

Awesome presentation! Pure gold starting at 7:09 - that's so true!

This is literally gold. Thank you

Michael you're such a G! Love watching you speak

Thanks lot for real Experience share. Real start up need working on.

Great points, thanks for valuable coaching!

This was fantastic

Extremaly helpful. Even though I dont get why quoting reports is bad for market size explanation:)

Great talk and insights. KISS principles reinforced.

thanks Michael!

Insightful

I'm planning on developing an AI app and this is helpful. I'm working on building an MVP now and I'm planning on attending a pitch even in the next few weeks.

Thank you, this is pure gold!

You are right man

It's crazy how basically everything he says is just practical advice one learns from being a fairly senior engineer or engineering leader or manager of some type. I'm shocked at how down-to-earth all of the advice is. Basically Michael seems to say that the key to getting funding is just being very clear what problem is being solved and how the product solves it and what the problem intensity level is.

Haha, the 'just ask' part is hilarious and so true! It's wild how something as simple as asking can open so many doors, not just in pitching but in life in general. Reminds me of that story about Steve Jobs when he was 12 - cold calling Bill Hewlett after finding his number in a phonebook, asking for spare parts for a project. And it worked, of course! Now, do I have the guts to do something similar? Of course not 😅

Freaking Gold

Is it normal to drop so many f-bombs during a pitch?

If cursing was < 2%, I could share this with my students. Instead I will recreate a youth friendly version.

why don’t i like his vibe no idea 🤷‍♂️

i just lluv the way he keeps saying f**k you lol

Good insights but i am surprised on the use of F so many times. That’s strictly NO

Good presentation will save people time on their pitch, only thing is the presenter has used the f word too many times, maybe he needs to learn more English!

This sounds like a massive distraction. I'm not in the business of selling shares to investors, I'm in the business of serving my customers.

Raising capital is a huge distraction, but sometimes a necessary one.

@dukensonguerrier5369

This is where delegation becomes useful. Progress can't stop because capital is being raised. Furthermore, your startup isn't just YOU. While you're raising capital your co-founders should be doing whatever is necessary to gain more users/solve users problems.
