About Kevin Mann

The journey from Digital Marketing Strategist and entrepreneur to Business Development/Sales professional lends to my passion for learning and a data-driven, ethical approach to aligning people with real-world solutions.I am extremely fortunate to have worked alongside such an amazing team at Pitch Genius, honing my skills toward arming founders with the necessary tools and knowledge to raise capital. Our primary focus is to fully equip founders before speaking with investors. We build attractive and engaging data-backed pitches that open doors and book meetings, along with all of the assets that sit behind them that get investors to write checks faster. This is why 47%(as of Nov. 2024) of startups we\'ve supported went on to raise capital successfully. For context, 0.05% of startups receive VC funding.We’re industry agnostic. We\'ve worked with every kind of startup you can think of–from Food & Beverage Delivery and Men\'s Skincare to Genomics Biotech and Mobile AI, supporting founders throughout their fundraising journey from Pre-Seed through Series D+. If you’re looking to raise, shoot me a DM. We’d love to join forces in realizing your vision.Striving to be more self-LESS and less self-ISH.
