It's your job to get them to buy into your vision.
If it's the latter, you need to rethink your strategy

Our process is truly one-of-a-kind — no one else offers the deliverables we do (and these are intentional to help you stand out!). We’ve seen others offer passive DIY courses for around $1,000, and former investment bankers charge $25,000 for just a deck and some financial prep. We give you complete Pitch KIT AND put you on stage in a live demo day event for immediate traction, AND get you exposure to investors through our newsletter.
Our pricing is the most fair on the market because it adjusts based on your traction as a startup. We look at the total sum of your previous capital raised + revenue generated to produce 3 pricing tiers. We also factor in how many target audiences your product has. The chart below shows the starting rate of each tier
Tier 1:
Total Traction Sum is $1M+
Pricing starts at $14,900
Tier 2:
Total Traction Sum is $500k - $999,999
Pricing starts at $9,100
Tier 3: Total Traction Sum is $0k - $499,999k
Pricing starts at $7,100
This is for your complete pitch kit + participation in a custom demo day event, + distribution in our investor newsletter.
Our clients flip this small investment into the wins you see in the first question.
Yes. While the GOAT to Market Pitch Kit is designed for pre-seed all the way to Series A raises, we turn down startups if at very minimum they don’t have a prototype or product wireframes. If it’s still just a concept in your head then it’s not the right use of your time and money (yet!) because there are too many variables for you to still figure out. Once you have figured those out, then come to us!
We develop your GOAT to Market Pitch Kit over a series of collaborative Zoom sessions. Depending on the specifics of your startup, expect the complete process to take about 6 - 10 weeks. The process can move faster depending on your level of preparedness at each stage.
The best timing is ideally at least 3 months prior to when you plan to begin actively pitching. That way you give yourself enough time to practice your new pitch without feeling pressured.
Great! 95% of our clients already have some version of a pitch deck, but they know they’re not telling the right story. During the process we review what you already have and determine if there’s anything worth using.
Yes! However we recommend using our Design Artists as they know exactly how to interpret our storyboard and translate it into beautiful slides in an efficient manner. Our design process was born from studying hundreds of funded pitch decks and extracting the best ways to showcase visuals. Our Design Artists don’t just know graphic design, they know capital raise pitch deck design
Yes. Running your company day-to-day is what has you too close to your own story to develop the right pitch. We combine your knowledge of your startup with our expertise in storytelling and our expertise in startups at large.
Advisors are great, but in all likelihood they don’t have a process. When they say they’ll help, what they really mean is, “It’s on you to figure it out and then show it to me, and I’ll give you feedback rooted in my own specific preferences over a 20-minute phone call.” Advisors tend to be subjected to their own bias without realizing it. If your advisors want to help, we recommend you go through our process, then show your pitch to them.
