Pitching Masterclass @ Gateway Exzellenz Start-up Center University of Cologne

Recently I was invited to the Gateway Exzellenz Start-up Center at the University of Cologne, Germany to prepare the finalists of their “Startup Your Idea Contest” to pitch at their final event.

My Pitching Masterclass was initially created to serve the Rheinland Pitch back in 2013 to help educate our regional founders and prepare them for raising money – and has been constantly evolving ever since, and today it contains accumulated knowledge and feedback from over 3.000 startups served – and counting.

Until now, the Pitching Masterclass Startup Edition and Corporate Edition was only available to applicants to the Rheinland Pitch or startups lucky enough to be in an incubator or accelerator or corporate innovation program who decided to book me for my in-person, on-location Masterclass.

Happy Pitching Masterclass customers…

Today, the Pitching Masterclass is also additionally available, both the Startup and Corporate Edition, to all startups, students, and corporate innovators everywhere as on-demand eLearning at https://pitchingmasterclass.com, featuring +2 hours of video and all the hundreds of slides as a booklet download – also bookable in packages which additionally includes online mentoring & support vouchers for your teams.

Pitching Masterclass @ Bertelsmann

Recently I was back in Berlin working with Bertelsmann and their “Creativity Bootcamp” program that I have been supporting with my Pitching Masterclass and mentoring of the teams for the last eight years in a row now.

And the winners are…

Bertelsmann’s “Creativity Bootcamp” is an educational innovation program where all employees of the Bertelsmann organisation from around the world are invited to apply with their ideas for new businesses. All employees then vote which ones will be invited to a three-day intense bootcamp program to work on their idea and pitch the results to stakeholders.

My “Pitching Masterclass Corporate Edition” teaches employees how to get internal buy-in from the necessary stakeholders for their innovative ideas to generate additional or new business for their company.

It also teaches how to better understand their stakeholders, how and why pitching inside a company is very different from pitching investors as a startup – and provides a framework (taught at Harvard Business School) for navigating and overcoming potential internal resistance.

The “Corporate Edition” also provides an additional alternative framework and pitching format (used successfully in a very large and infamous company) to the classic pitch deck.

If your company or organisation would be interested in improving communication between your decision makers and idea people to massively improve innovation outcomes and increase employee job satisfaction – please feel free to get in touch to talk about how I can help you too.

If you’re at an educational institution like a college or university, a startup support program like an incubator or accelerator, or an event featuring startup pitches – get in touch to talk about how I can help you too with the “Startup Edition” of the Pitching Masterclass to help manage the quality of output and massively improve the fundability of your participants.
