Are you having problems with your Series A, B, C or any other Pitch deck? Is it lacking strategy or has it received underwhelming results? Formatting problems with Powerpoint or Google? Or you simply don't have the time or knowledge to craft a deck that converts? What's in it for you: Less than 1.9% pitch decks result on an initial investment, from roughly +2M that are reviewed by VC's every year, which means you have less than 5 minutes to catch their attention, that's only achievable with a great content & design strategy, plenty of the decks that get rejected have good design, but they're not able to convert effectively, which is where I come in. About my experience: • Knowledge on strategy pitching businesses to the biggest US Venture Capitals • +90M Succesfully raised for different startups with incredible products and services • +100 pitch decks designed from scratch, tailored around the business & strategy. • My clients receive x2, x3 investor meetings, which raises their chances by a good amount. What other STARTUPS founders are saying: ⭐ "Wow!!! Alejandro is the real deal!! Did an absolutely incredible job and greatly improved my version of my pitch." ⭐ "I am working with him on another project now and have referred him to several colleagues at other companies." ⭐ "He is very professional and understood the brief with minimal direction and completed the work on time (early, actually)."

Hi! I'm Josh. I’m a freelance copywriter on a mission to strengthen your organization, and I specialize in nonprofits/charities. I write website, fundraising, and content copy that engage your audience and stakeholders, strengthen your capacity to achieve more, and saves you time and energy. Here's what I can write for you in a nutshell: 1. Website pages - Homepages, About pages, Services pages, Landing pages, Product descriptions, etc. 2. Fundraising copy - Appeal letters, donor acknowledgments, grants for foundations and government (see specialized profile for grant writing info) 3. Online content - Blogs, email newsletters, social media captions, and more Each of my clients receive: - Brand & story questionnaire - Personalized research of your field & impact - Up to 2 rounds of edits for your deliverables - Basic SEO optimization - The opportunity to chat with me to discuss your organization, your needs, and strategies to meet your goals Why you should work with me: 1. I’m a committed collaborator who likes to solve problems, meet collective goals, and have fun. 2. I’m a skilled writer and editor with experience in a variety of mediums and sectors who’s not afraid to try new things and make mistakes along the way. 3.

Here's more about me: My life has been sculpted by faith and the arts since an early age, from supporting men’s homeless ministries to finding community and inspiration through theatre. I’ve always had a knack for writing stories and processing my thoughts and feelings through words. Before going freelance, I found work in grant administration, which then turned into fundraising. Having been on both sides of the table—reading grants and now writing them—I learned a lot about the storytelling and case-making panels and funders are looking for. This led me to an a-ha moment: I could use my experience and background to help organizations talk about themselves in their media and fundraising! When I’m not writing, you can find me on my yoga mat, snuggling my two tabby cats, or snacking on something sweet. I am currently based in NYC’s “sixth borough,” Jersey City, NJ, with my hubby Nick.

Hi, I'm Mary Helen, a professional writer with a track record for engaging readers and converting them into clients. My websites, emails, and other collateral dramatically boost conversions. I like to say that I write primo emo ... I write human, and everyone's looking for more of that these days. My approach? I use the Story Brand approach to clarify the company brand, who the customers are and what they're looking for, and how a product or service will result in their success. Then I write concise, relatable copy that supports the brand and builds loyalty. Does building loyalty sound amorphous? It's not really. My writing style feels authentic to readers. Your copy will sound grounded, real, and alive with your personality. People trust authenticity. So, back to basics ... my writing converts! But you don't have to take it from me, listen to what my clients have said about me: • Mary Helen has made a significant difference in our conversions. She digs to understand what you want, then works with you to attain your goal and beyond. I'll have her "on my staff" for a long time! • She has a unique ability to listen to your brand vision, understand what you're thinking, and bring it to life. • She's a consummate professional, committed and dedicated to seeing your project succeed. Here's the shortlist of collateral I produce: ** Website copy & landing pages ** Autoresponder emails ** Articles & blog posts ** White papers, flyers, brochures, eBooks ** Tag lines and loglines ** Video scripts & speeches ** Product descriptions I also offer website consultation if you want to make your existing copy and flow more effective. I'm adept at spotting the problems and highlighting the gold -- your site will sing and convert. If my style sounds good to you and you're great to work with, contact me and let's talk about your project!

What you present, either in words, or through what you say, is a reflection of your competence to your audience. It could make or break their trust in you. You’re here to make a good impression, and you need someone to help you focus on making that killer pitch, that killer deck, or that killer paper. Having raised £770,000 ($1.04m) for a pre-revenue startup with £136,000 ($177,000) in grants all through presenting our case, I know the challenges you'll be facing across writing about your business, to presenting it. See what a client of mine had to say where I helped her land a regional sales role at a business turning over £160m annually: “I cannot rate Mohamed highly enough. He was professional, polite and went over and above to meet my deadlines. I didn't give him a lot of time to complete the work but he more than achieved this and went the extra mile. He communicated brilliantly with me throughout and the quality of his work is excellent.” In my past life, I’ve also helped a non-profit organisation land a £30,000 sponsorship deal through my PowerPoint and pitching work. This was more than double any deal they had in the 15 years they had been running. Having presented to a Vice President, government officials, panels of VCs & CEOs, and boards of directors, I understand what is needed to engage at the highest level. I recognise what it takes to distil complex concepts into very simple slides and articles. This is also a result of having embarked on a PhD in the past, subsequently publishing a peer reviewed book chapter, as well as leading a tech startup. Why am I competent to help you out besides 5 years’ experience of presentation development and copywriting? My background is in engineering and technology, and hence my software development experience includes: ⭐️ C++ and object oriented programming principles ⭐️ iOS development ⭐️ MATLAB And my portfolio of project work includes: ✔ Raised £770,000 ($1.04m) from 4 VCs and high net worth angels for a pre-revenue tech startup. ✔ Autonomous vehicle development including founding and leading the autonomous racing team ✔ 6 years’ part-time experience in a motorsport team, contributing to Cardiff Racing’s Formula Student UK win against 100+ other teams; the first UK team to win the UK event in its 19 year history ✔ Helped Cardiff Racing raise the biggest external sponsorship deal in their 15 year history. ✔ Sales team iOS quotation app development ✔ Taking tech startup to Dubai Future Accelerators and being selected to present to the Vice President of the People’s Republic of China ✔ The Telegraph STEM Awards design winner 2017 ✔ The Telegraph STEM Awards semi-finalist 2016 ✔ Hospital design and extension feasibility studies So what are you waiting for?

STARTUP KICKSTART Every pitch deck can be improved. I should know, I review hundreds of startups in pitch competitions and as an investor here, in the center of the tech universe, in Silicon Valley. After 30 minutes together, you'll get essential insights and suggestions that will help you build a powerful 4 minute pitch for your startup. Within 90 minutes, you'll learn how investors view your company, and why you are struggling with fundraising. Do you have a coherent, complete, error-free Investor package (2 decks, a viable go-to-market plan and a solid financial model)? You won't get funded without this raw material. Once that's built, we can discuss how you engage your audience, impart facts and figures and connect with emotion. This is the essence of start-up strategy and I can help you get there. BUSINESS COACHING Founders, executives often need an outside perspective, additional accountability, or an experienced, unbiased counselor. Think of me as your private CEO whisperer who will tell you how you can be a more effective leader. Go-To-Market STRATEGY I've been CEO of 4 tech startups. One I took public (IPO). I sold two of them. I've held senior executive positions at 4 other companies. I know software, hardware, venture capital, boards, M&A, financial modelling, sales, marketing and product development. But what I like to do best is to with with strong CEO's to help them find the optimal path to success.

I love getting personal with each of my clients; that's where the magic happens! When we work together to define who you are and how you can help others, a few simple words on a page can grow into unwavering customer loyalty. With 7+ years of experience in the copy writing field, I've worked with a variety of clients from the Silicon Valley Tech Giant Chegg, to the DailyBarker, an Instagram account with nearly half a million followers. I believe that stellar communication comes from connection, which is why I aim to get personal with each of my clients so I can help them get eye-to-eye with their customers. In addition to copy writing, I also help companies with editing, social media, brand development, and campaign strategy. It's also been an honor to act as the coordinator for the charity Thriving Nations. Over the past two years, I've been able to work with the rural village of Muungano, Kenya to build a school, hire a teacher, build a water cistern, and more. When I'm not writing, you can catch me hiking, painting, collecting rocks, or on an expedition to a third world country.
