This Leadership Quest equips you to refine the Content and Delivery of your Investor Pitch - so you pique investor interest and win confidence in your ability to deliver a compelling ROI.
Why Make Courage Contagious? Because it takes courage for an investor to say, "Yes" and jump into a deal, bring syndication partners along with them, and commit the time and reputation capital required to engage in due diligence. It takes even more courage for them to step up and champion your deal to other investors and decision-makers.
Courage isn't just the magic you create with an inspiring presence and message. It's also the confidence you earn in Due Diligence, so investors see how you'll execute and get traction. In this Quest, you'll learn the 5As to build that Courage.
The GET STARTED button will open your Pitch Prep Quest - with a series of Missions to refine your pitch and get ready for a Pitch Prep Coaching Session. When you're ready, use the Coaching button to reach out to your Courage Coach and request a pitch prep session.

This Pitch Prep Quest equips you to…
- See your deal from the investor's perspective - so you can show what's in it for them to fund your venture and risk their reputation and time, as well as their capital
- Show that you have the right stuff to do a successful launch and grow the venture - which may be different from showing you had the right stuff to get your solution or your venture to where it is now
- Give investors confidence that they can earn a good ROI - and that they're top of mind, rather than an afterthought
- Learn - with agility to be coachable, listen to feedback, use market feedback and persuade buyers and users to adopt, in a way that makes you an indispensable upgrade
- Use "drip irrigation" and good two-way communication to foster a relationship, so investors get to know you and invest in a partnership, not just a transaction
- Form a board that validates your value proposition, sharpens your thinking and champions your values - not just represents the interests of a faction who has a stake in your success
- Build a sustainable win/win/win relationship - so investors jump in as proponents and champions, not just do a one-off transaction
Dr Merom Klein + Dr Louise Yochee Klein wrote the book for leaders to Make Courage Contagious. They coached thousands of high-potential leaders , growth-company CEOs and bizdev/sales leaders to step up, lean in, take charge, reach out, boost their impact and make a bigger difference.
They equip innovators and early adopters to be trusted advisors and challengers, not merely order-takers, so they drive adoption and upgrade the standard of care. They equip leaders to use diversity, inclusion, engagement to "Bring it on!" when conflict, abrasion and multiple interests can deliver better business decisions. They'll equip you to mobilize the support you need and recruit the right players for the right assignments in your matrix or virtual team.
Their successes as American-Canadian-Israeli Business Psychologists include assignments with high-potential innovation leaders at J&J, Merck, Solvay, Sanofi, Abbvie, Tekni-Plex, West, LifeArc, Pacira, Cigna, Aetna, Rafa"el, Amdocs, Quaker-Houghton, Avantor/VWR, ARAMARK, KeyCorp, iAngels, Keiretsu Forum and thousands of mid-market and entrepreneurial ventures as well as defence and government agencies in North America, Europe, UK, Latin America, Asia, Africa, New Zealand + Israel.
