Pitching is a universal fear, because we are hard-wired to seek validation from others, and it's amplified when you are used to not being "seen" or "received" by others in your industry.
In order to create a successful pitch, you must actually do the opposite of seeking validation— you must become a magnet for others to join you in your vision. This requires you to hold your highest vision for your venture, communicate it tactically, and know exactly how much money you need in order to reach your own personal next level.
Join this event with Nilima Achwal, Founder of The Female Founders Lab, to unleash your feminine energy, the purpose-driven force that informs your vision, and to learn about the major areas of improvement for almost all impact-driven founders on their pitch decks.
You’ll walk away with:
This framework is based on Nilima’s personal experience scaling her paradigm-shifting sex education program to half a million youth, in a foreign country, with a team of only 3 people and a handful of cash. It has also helped other founders raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few short weeks and millions in follow-on funding.
Nilima Achwal is the founder of The Female Founders Lab, a global, virtual accelerator for ventures that will transform industries to become regenerative, sustainable, holistic, democratic, and just.
Previously, she founded a taboo-breaking venture called Iesha Learning, bringing sex education to half a million middle schoolers across India and led a seed stage accelerator for social innovators funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.
Nilima has been published in VICE, USA Today, and Harvard Business Review, named in the top 100 social entrepreneurs globally, given two TEDx talks, and been on a reality show about social entrepreneurs reaching 10 million viewers.
