I've spent over 20 years on all sides of the table as a Silicon Valley investment banker, venture investor, and long-time tech entrepreneur. My book, Accelerated Startup is used by universities and accelerators around the world to train tech entrepreneurs.

Like I've done for thousands of others in keynotes and workshops, I will teach you how to Pitch Like a Boss. And for the first time ever, I will be doing it in a cohort-based, online course. This is the most comprehensive pitch training you can find online.

Learning is better with cohorts

Active learning, not passive watching

Learn with a cohort of peers

You’ll be learning in public through breakout rooms and an engaged community. One of the best parts of cohort-based courses is the people you meet. You’ll get to know fellow remote leaders through our community, group activities, and live lectures.

Accountability and thoughtful feedback

We provide resources, support, and deadlines to keep you accountable. Personalized feedback will help to accelerate your growth.

Projects made for busy professionals
