Pitching VCs for funding is a challenge – only 1% of VC pitches get funded. What entrepreneurs need is a step-by-step strategy on how to get a pitch deck and script that can get them a$1 million or more in funding.

John Livesay, host of The Successful Pitch podcast, author of The Successful Pitch : Conversation On Going From Invisible To Investable and pitch mentor at Startfast.net  dropped by Hacker Lab in Midtown during lunch today and dropped a boatload of great advice on pitching to a couple of dozen Sacramento entrepreneurs. Those lucky enough to be in attendance walked away with new knowledge and insights to help them successfully pitch investors. Luckily for others, we also live streamed the event on Facebook Live. Check out the embedded archive of that below including some preliminary one-on-one feedback John shared with some early arrivals.

You can also download John’s slide deck to follow along with his talk.
