Investor pitches yield binary outcomes.

One: we’re in.
Zero: we’re out.

One Lab works to craft and polish ones:
pitches investors say yes to.








When founders give top 1% pitches, investors wonder if they’re speaking with top 1% founders.

It’s the investor’s job to find and fund top 1% founders.

Top 1% pitches → investors say yes.

Impeccable pitches lead to cascading intros, offers from top VCs, transformation of close rates, optimal terms, and quick, hot rounds.

It may be popular to tell war stories about how many investors said no before a founder finally got a single yes.

But the reverse also occurs: strong fundraisers can see virtual or literal 100% conversion rates.








The best pitches make enormously complex, cutting-edge concepts sound simple and obvious — at least to the apparent genius speaking.

(See: Seibel, Altman, Jobs, Palihapitiya, Musk.)








Their narrative arcs are engaging, crystal clear, impressive, educational, and convincing.

They have well-designed, minimalist slides that support rather than distract.

Delivery is confident, easy, fluid, natural, and allows the founder’s genuine strengths to shine through.









With strategic counsel and coaching, one warp-speed sprint elevates a pitch from suboptimal to optimal.

The results are transformative to investor perception of founder executive prowess.

Politicians work with speechwriters, presentation designers, and delivery coaches to polish addresses.

When preparing for fundraising, we believe CEOs should do the same.

We work behind the scenes on narrative strategy, speech co-creation, delivery coaching, copywriting, creative direction, and design.

We’ll rapidly help you prepare a pitch that demonstrates a breed of impeccability that people with particularly high pattern recognition and verbal intelligence will recognize — hopefully including many of your investors.
