"Working with you and getting our story and deck locked in was one of the best things we’ve done. The vision feels big enough now. I feel confident. I feel like — yeah, we can conquer the world."
Goals
Build a strong, exciting story around HyperType’s vision that shows how big this company can really become.
Show up to investor meetings with more confidence and clarity. Avoid rambling and coming across as scattered.
Find a way to deal with questions and skepticism around defensibility.
Obstacles
“As a founder, you’re stuck in your own bubble. You’re juggling everything—feedback from investors, competitors, and customers. It’s hard to know what’s actually working.”
The story just wasn’t landing: “It’s really hard to come up with a billion-dollar vision by yourself… especially when the tech keeps changing so fast.”
“We didn’t have a clear outside perspective. One wrong answer in a pitch can cost you the deal and we weren’t prepared for that.”
Results
“Within two weeks, we were able to deliver not only a billion-dollar story, but also a pitch deck and narrative that finally made us feel like, ‘yes, this could be huge’. It was one of the best things we’ve done so far.”
“I realized how important it is to know how to ‘play the game.’”
With Teenie’s new pitch, investors stopped asking about defensibility, and she got commitments within three weeks.
