Can you get people to get it?

VISION. Capital V. Every great company and CEO have one. But there’s a difference between the vision we want to project versus what we actually say.

You might be in a fundraise or in customer acquisition mode, but the Vision gets cloudy real quick if you’re too in the weeds, too technical, or simply too caught up in the day-to-day.
Maybe you've tried...
🔨
DIYing it. But you end up with 18 versions that still don’t sound good
👨
Asking your advisors. But they just say, “you need to tell a story!” without actually telling you how.
🤖
Using AI. But find yourself in a prompt war with a machine that can't get it right.
When the goal is unicorn, you can’t come off sheepish or like a sly fox.

Become The GOAT to Market with Startup Hypeman.

Who is 1MPMC taught by?

A picture of Startup Hypeman.

Hi, I'm RajNATION.

Founder & Chief Pitch Artist of Startup Hypeman, and Director of Startup Grind Chicago.

For nearly a decade, I've worked on one thing: STORY. I've told stories for startups, C-suites, sales teams, as a TV sports broadcaster, rapper, and more.

My pitch methods have trained thousands of entrepreneurs and been endorsed by some of the world's top innovation hubs and VC firms, including Plug & Play, 1871, Startup Grind, and more.

Through my experience I learned the unconventional secret to nailing a pitch: you need to make your audience feel SEEN.

When your audience feels seen, they will give you their time, trust, and WANT to do business with you.

Because it doesn't feel like you're pitching them.

How do you make your audience feel seen?

It all starts with the Que PASA Elevator Pitch Formula®.


This formula has been the foundation behind $100M+ in raised capital, and countless amounts of user and sales growth in between.

In 1-Minute Pitch Masterclass: Build, Practice, & Nail it in 10 days, together, we'll build THAT kind of a pitch for your company.

Here’s what founders say

Let's goooooo!! 🚀🚀 $100k win! Seriously, this is crazy 😫 🙌🏾 Thank you for being the greatest coach!

Christine Izuakor
Cyber Pop-Up Founder

You are an amazing storyteller and a great wordsmith on your feet. It was fun watching you process our story and translate it into one that makes other people care about it too.

Joyce Anderson
Honest Game Cofounder

One of the most underrated skills as an entrepreneur is authentic storytelling. Without a doubt, Startup Hypeman made me a stronger entrepreneur. I still use my Que PASA everywhere I go.

Carson Goodale
Fanfood & Brightn Cofounder

We raised $900k and improved our inbound demo requests from 3 a month to 20 - the Que PASA has been connecting!

Flint Holbrook
Truckspy Founder

The best thing about Que PASA is it makes you a natural when you're on stage but also in a casual convo. If you're on the fence - jump off - you'll be safe with The Hypeman.

Jill Miller
Lunum Founder

We grew our revenue to $8.9M and raised $6.5M! I've been making sure everyone on the team understands the importance of Que PASA for how we rep ourselves in market.

Chuck Stovall
Navflex Founder

You literally changed the trajectory of their company.

Still got questions? We got answers!

Will this work for MY industry?

YES. I designed the Que PASA Elevator Pitch Formula® to work for any industry and any audience. In 9 years it's been vetted across nearly every vertical, including B2B SaaS, consumer apps, Medtech, Healthtech, Proptech, Supply Chain, and more.

What if I'm a marketplace company or have multiple target audiences?

The Que PASA Elevator Pitch Formula® we teach and build from inside of 1MPMC is designed for any kind of company. However, we can only create a Que PASA for ONE audience at a time. For example, if you're a marketplace company you'd pick either your supply side or your demand side and build that pitch. You can then choose to replay the material on your own afterwards to create your additional pitches, or engage with Startup Hypeman in 1-on-1 consulting to have it done for you.

Is this like an online course where I just get access to a bunch of videos in a folder?

NO. We run 4 live sessions, each one building on the last. First, you'll watch me create one company's pitch, starting with the Superhero Positioning Strategy™ in Session 1, and the Que PASA Elevator Pitch® in Session 2. I'll explain what I'm doing out loud as I'm doing it. Then you'll write a first draft as homework, using the provided workbook to guide you through the creation of every sentence.

We'll meet up in Session 3 for 'Over-the-Shoulder' pitch writing. This is where everyone further drafts their pitch but I take a look at your pitch and poke holes, drive direction, etc. Then at the end in Session 4, each founder will pitch one at a time and get final feedback from me and others in the cohort.

How long does it take to finish 1MPMC?

4 live sessions over 10 days or less! It might be less depending on the specific dates of your cohort. We are here to accomplish one very specific thing -- your 1-minute pitch!

What if I can't make a live session?

It is to your benefit to make it to each session live. That's how you'll get the best results. But if you can't make a session for whatever reason, we'll have the recordings posted within a day. Timing for these things is never perfect so it's better to sign up and then start moving your calendar around, versus hoping maybe later this year you'll preemptively have 4 dates neatly lined up in advance.

What are the dates, times, and how long is each session?

All 4 sessions last 90 minutes and begin at 12pm CT. You will also have access to two additional deep work group sessions (attendance optional).

For exact dates of your cohort, scroll up to the middle of this page or send a message to our Enrollment Manager, Nebraska, at media@startuphypeman.com.

How will I know the pitch in 1MPMC is actually good?

You'll build your pitch using our signature pitch formulas. These have been tested over 300 times and shared with investors and customers. The system works. Plus you'll have my hands-on guidance, editing, and review so you're not left with just some formulas and a 'go figure it out'.

Do I really need a 1-minute pitch?

YES. You have to earn your time with investors, customers, or a live audience. Your first 60 seconds determines your next 60 minutes. The Que PASA Elevator Pitch Formula® is the only formula specifically designed for this purpose.

What kind of experience do you have working with startups?

Over 9 years Startup Hypeman has fueled over 50 pitch competition wins or prize-winning top 3 finishes, including major events like SXSW, plus capital raises, totaling over $100M, and 100%+ revenue growth across multiple sales teams. That's 3 different economic climates, nearly every industry imaginable, and a laundry list of reviews.

The formulas you'll build your 1-minute pitch with inside of 1MPMC are the backbone behind all of this, including Cyber Pop-Up (5 competition wins, $250k+ competition winnings, 7-figure raise), Sigo Seguros ($21M raised), NavFlex ($10M+ raised), and many many more.

Additionally, the formulas inside of 1MPMC have trained entrepreneurs at some of the top innovation hubs in the world including, Plug & Play, 1871, Startup Grind, and more.

I have so much experience with the startup world that I literally made a rap album out of startup life. Go look up RajNATION on Spotify. You won't be disappointed.
