  • Episode 3: What's Your Pitch?
    Jun 7 2021

    In this episode, we talk about pitching - what's the balance between your off-the-cuff pitch versus your slide deck, how do you convey your skills without coming across as ego-heavy, and insight from people who's done it all before.


    Thanks to all our contributors, including Craig Willis of Skore, David Odier of Launch Mappers, Hywel Carver of Skiller Whale, Sara Stephens of Rest Less (second-time guest!), Kirill Khrestianovskii of Meyvn, Claire Cherry of True Capital and David Houghton of Seedrs.
