Develop a Novel Startup Idea and Complementary Pitch Deck for Funding
Typical college admissions advising lacks a way to differentiate applicants, as all applicants already have top grades, SAT scores etc. In 10 1-hour sessions I will coach you on developing a novel startup idea, and walk you through the process of creating a pitch deck for seed funding. At the end of the session, I will give you 3 avenues for further pursuing your project, including but not limited to a list of tailored startup competitions to apply to, references to entrepreneurial communities to join, or intros to VCs for seed funding. Ultimately, you will have a new bent to present on your application that will help set you apart from other applicants.
