“As a first-time entrepreneur in the medical device space, I was seeking a seasoned angel to provide feedback on our pitch and business plan. Marc’s feedback has exceeded all expectations and not only allowed us to develop a pitch and business plan that resonates with investors, but also to help develop a winning go to market strategy. Marc’s turnaround time was extremely fast and he always makes himself available (even on a Sunday!) to help entrepreneurs in this space. I would recommend Marc’s Pitch to Me First service to anyone serious about raising capital.” Nicholas Irwin, Founder and CEO of HerSecure
"As a first time CEO, and a 20 year old one at that, I've been finding that every week holds new highs and new lows. It's this revelation that made me realize the importance of having solid counsel, and Marc provides exactly that. His assistance didn't just stop with feedback on my overall business strategy or pitch deck-- he actually went out of the way to get me in front of 50+ seasoned investors to practice my pitch. In particular, the Angel Venture Fair facilitated a learning experience where I realized the importance of tailoring my pitch to different audiences, a learning that I'll hold with me for the rest of my entrepreneurial journey. It really does make sense to pitch to Marc first!" Josh Baek, founder of Red Flag.
“Marc’s feedback regarding our business plan was remarkably thorough, detailed, and insightful. The questions he raised were multi-layered and very smart. Based on Marc’s feedback, we are revisiting some very important assumptions and customer validation points that serve as a foundation for our plan.” Ben Arnon, co-founder Color Farm Media
“Marc provided me with excellent feedback on gaps I had within my presentation and pitch that I had not considered. He showed me ways to make the presentation more meaningful to investors and also made me think about how to be more concise and effective in my delivery.” Osie Brown, founder of Fan Catcher
"Marc Kramer has provided me with the feedback I've needed in order to tell my startup narrative the right way. With his decades of experience raising funds, he knows exactly what investors are looking for. Most importantly, having an entrepreneurial background Marc understands and acknowledges the oppositions entrepreneurs face when raising capital and helps teach how to attack the uncertainty dead on." Rohan Brown, founder Barley Sober.
"Marc was able to immediately understand and define the vision of my business and most valuably help me clearly communicate and streamline that value to prospective future clients." Sean Keefe, Straight Up Capital
"Marc Kramer showed us where our thinking about our pitch can be vastly improved. In just one session, he cut to the essence of the differentiation of our pitch. If you want to raise money, don't even think about...schedule time with Marc!" Eric Keiles Entrepreneur-in-Residence Square 2
