A lesson to startups by a startup 💡
In a recent pitching coaching assignment I did with bright young fintech professionals,
I coached one of the founders in a startup who, in the final coaching session, took my notes and went off to further practice and polish.
On the Demo Day he did not do the pitch🙈
His partner in the startup!!! 🤯
Don’t worry, he did very well 👋👍
Upon enquiring about what prompted the change 🤔
they said they incorporated my notes into their pitch,
finalized it
and then started to practice in turn
giving each other feedback
In order to decide
WHO will present it BETTER 🚀⭐️💡
BRILLIANT ⭐️ 👏
Lesson1: Their thinking was in the right place for the good of their joint venture
Lesson 2: They worked as a team supporting each other regardless of who is the appointed CEO, and who is the “other”
They both did a good job behind the scenes and on stage.
I’m so proud of them and hope that all ventures would have the same attitude and work as a team 🍀
