Before Wen and I started working together, I was struggling with getting the pitch finalized as well as a lack of confidence. As the sessions pass by, I am loving the confidence-building part. She even sometimes smacks me over the head which I really need. I have loved working with Wen since Day 1; she is a very intelligent and inspiring woman who also brings an essential energy to the meetings. She goes beyond the pitch deck to really get to know your business and what motivates you and gives you the confidence to succeed in the pitch progress.
The day after the workshop, I mustered up the courage to pitch my idea to the CEO of a technology consulting firm. He understood my idea right away, and we are beginning the process of forming a strategic partnership. Thanks for helping to empower your community! I hope to do the same.
WOW! Wen! THANK YOU! Your story, your, energy, your lessons - are literally revolutionizing the way I am forming my pitch! (I also relate so much to your "against the odds" story of success.) Keep shining brightly.
Really enjoyed your session, Wen! Your positivity is contagious and I learned so much about what makes a successful pitch.
Loved your class! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. You filled the time with such remarkable insights and suggestions!
Dareesoft’s biggest challenge was laying out specific targets on establishing business in the United States. The most outstanding support from INNW was the advice and comments on Dareesoft’s pitch deck slides. The feedback was specific, direct to the point, and INNW provided the essential ingredients that were highly critical. Dareesoft benefited from the opportunity to establish a US business entity, initiate fundraising, and being assigned to the best mentor that Dareesoft needed to enter the US market. I would recommend INNW because the program is equipped with professionalism, sincerity, and thoughtfulness. During each and every meeting, they reached out to each of us individually. Throughout all sessions I felt like the meeting was so personal, and the mentors really cared about our business.
Engaging with Wen for my investor pitch deck has been an amazing experience.
More than sharing business ideas, Wen’s excitement and energy transforms the engagement that produced an incredible, insightful and informed outcome.
In a short time frame with Wen’s guidance, we’ve elevated our pitch and deck. As a result, we just received a $1.5M investment. That’s magic!
Before meeting Wen, our team struggled to effectively communicate what our company is doing. Wen was able to give a simple and effective framework for formulating our mission and value proposition via elevator speech. Her positive personality, excitement, and passion for helping and seeing others be successful is contagious and makes working with her such a great experience.
As a scientist running a tech start-up, the story you tell about your company is usually about science and my biggest challenge in investor presentations was simple messaging. What investors and business people want to know is the market impact story as the main story about the start-up.
Wen helped make the messaging more obvious and authentic, from a market impact standpoint. She gave a fresh layman perspective on the high impact points about the company, whether we were talking about the problem that our technology solved, the market capture, business model, or revenue. She had a very holistic 360 view of how the different parts of our pitch fit together – and this is really helpful when you are in the weeds focused on details! In a single meeting, Wen literally re-messaged my entire deck, slide by slide, getting the pitch to 5 minutes without losing any of the critical information.
As a result, I have a lot more confidence “pitching” my company, feeling confident that they will understand what we do, why we do what we do, and why we are positioned for a huge success. That was a huge leap for me as a researcher, to have confidence in how I presented the company to potential investors. As a result of the clear messaging, we are invited to many exclusive investors meetings and are on our way to raising a $3.8M seed round.
Most of the time, the best work goes unnoticed if it is not executed with a proper communication strategy. We had an idea and were well-versed in our services before meeting Wen, but we were unsure how to convey our message.
Wen understood our dreams and was eager to make them a reality. She has assisted us in preparing professional presentations that effectively communicate our mission and vision. She stood by our side as a guiding light during the journey of making our professional pitch deck.
We are immensely grateful to Wen for aiding us in understanding the significance of communication for business and helping us communicate Picktime's goals better.
As a result, we raised $715k seed sound by June 2021.
