1. Founder & Chief Pitch Artist

   Startup Hypeman

   Aug 2016 — Present · Chicago, IL, US

   Don\'t be the best, be the ONLY.We help startups become the GOAT To Market by giving them the pitch that finally breaks through. We primarily work with 1) Founders of startups raising capital from pre-seed through Series A, and 2) CEO / CRO / CMO leadership and their sales teams at Series A+ startups.1)Founders raising capital are saying,\"We SUCK at telling our story!\"They\'ve got this vision in their head, but when they pitch they\'re getting scratched heads, confused looks, and a \"Huh? What does it do again?\" or worse, a \"Oh I get it, another [insert generic app here].\"When the stakes are this high, you can\'t be another anyone. You\'ve got to own being the ONLY you.Startup Hypeman helps dial in your pitch to go from confused looks to cashed checks. Our Pitch Artistry process has garnered everything from winning $25k in a competition, to $25 million in a Series A.Just ask startups like Eventnoire, StoryFit, Sigo Seguros, Science On Call, Cyber Pop-Up, and others how they\'ve been Hyped.Head to startuphypeman.com to learn more and access our free Que PASA Elevator Pitch™ training video.2) Once a company exits founder-led sales and the sales team ramps up, there\'s an acceleration window to lead the category or create an entirely new category and hit the next valuation. Poorly run sales calls with \'guided tour\' demos and no storytelling only leave them getting feature-shopped against competition where the winner is whoever can discount the most. We help leadership translate their vision into a scalable customer narrative that everyone on the team can deliver.We craft the pitch and sales motion that turns buyer decisions from feature and discount-focused, to aligning on point-of-view and recognizing your company\'s market expertise. Our Story Stack process has generated results like reps closing 200% of quota, increasing ACV, and even helping a company get acquired.
