In the world of startups getting a business off the ground is not easy. There is so much work that goes into developing the plans, product, testing, etc. etc., yet in 60 seconds or less, that dream can come to an end.
Why, because their investor pitch didn’t go so well. This may have been the result of the entrepreneur themselves…or in many cases, their pitch deck didn’t communicate and the brilliance of their idea got lost in the sea of pages, numbers, and rambling that caused the potential investor to say to themselves, next!
At the Café, Jasmine Foroutan, CEO of Pitch Genius joins me to offer up some advice on what a great and effective pitch deck should include.

I was inspired by a movie I recently watched called The Ultimate Gift. It’s based on a book written by Jim Stovall. Without giving the premise away, there are 12 gifts discussed in the movie that I believe are gifts we have all given, received, or wish we had. Please listen in as I believe you will find this conversation relevant given the times we are living in. Hopefully, in the end, you will find this is my gift to you!

As a business owner, you dream of cashing out one day. The big score! But what is your company really worth? Maybe not as much you believe it is? What is the right exit strategy for you? Sell the company? Be acquired? Merge? Or, as another thought, sell it to the people that helped grow your business.
At the Café, I have Chris Kramer, Managing Director of Strategic Equity Group to discuss ESOP’s (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) as an exit strategy.
