Pitch What's Possible: Great entrepreneurs share many common traits; passion, drive, dedication and vision

But, are these alone enough to truly excel in winning over the hearts, minds, and pockets of the investors they need in a fast moving and frantic startup world? Get ready to be captivated, intrigued, and often surprised, as we take 4 dynamic founders on their own, highly personal, journey of discovery—to refine their elevator pitches, enhance their pitch decks, and master the art of captivating storytelling.

Your guide to the secrets of the perfect pitch is Allison McGuire, former actress, politico, and serial entrepreneur. As creator of The McGuire Method, she uses her performance techniques to help everyone from top executives, to ambitious go-getters, and hustling startup founders take the business world by storm.

“There is so much magic in connecting one on one with founders, and helping bring their vision to life through storytelling and their performance. I’m eager to get to the root of who they are, and bring out their unique selves based on their challenges and vision.”

- Allison McGuire

Joining you on this transformative journey is your host, none other than Brooke Jamieson, Senior Developer Advocate. They’ll be your eyes and ears on all the action before the cameras, and all the reactions behind the scenes.

Along with a dedicated team of professionals, including branding experts, graphic designers, and communication specialists, there’s never a dull moment as they work to ensure our founders shine like never before. Here’s what our founders had to say on taking part in this transformative experience:

“This is an amazing opportunity to perfect my pitch with THE Allison McGuire, and to connect with other like-minded and dynamic women founders. I’m looking to learn all that I can to eradicate nervousness and uncertainty from my pitch presentation.”

- Jennifer

“I’m most excited about meeting other founders who understand the nuances and struggles of being a female founder. I want to do whatever it takes for success, so I’m looking forward to understanding my shortcomings, and grow beyond them to impact my business.”

- Laraib

“I had gotten to the point where I didn’t know how else to evolve my pitch, so the opportunity to get critiqued by an expert set of eyes came at a great time. I’m really looking forward to see how I can bring her insights from the performance world to the founder stage.”

- Karen

“As a media professional, I know how to communicate effectively—however, I’m still learning how to better connect with investors, and drive them to being transactional. I'm also a perfectionist, so the thought of having a relatively limited time to implement the coaching strategies is a lot for me!”

- Angel
