The Entrepreneur’s Journey:

FROM DEATH VALLEY TO EXIT

Hard Truths, Big Wins & What Founders Really Learn on the Way to Success

Building a startup isn’t as glamorous as the exit stories make them out to be. This keynote strips back the myth of overnight success and reveals the emotional and strategic highs and lows every founder will face at some point in their journey and provides insight, tips and tools on how to overcome those challenges.

Perfect for: Startup events, incubators, university programs

Audience Takeaways:

  • How to stay motivated through failure
  • What to do when your startup hits rock bottom
  • Redefining success beyond the exit
  • Real founder stories that resonate, educate & energize
  • The habits and mindset of successful founders

THE ART OF CRAFTING A COMPELLING STARTUP PITCH

Speaking the Language of VCs, Angels & Startup Competition Judges

Most pitches fail because they are not built for the stage or the investor. Often entrepreneurs fall into the trap of reading from a pitchdeck, going over time, focusing on the product and failing to answer the investors questions.
In this high-impact keynote, founders learn how to craft and deliver pitches that speak to what investors actually care about — and how to own the room with confidence.

Perfect for: Startup competitions, accelerators, pitch bootcamps

Audience Takeaways:

  • Investor psychology: What they are looking for and how to gain their trust
  • The biggest mistakes founders make in their decks (and how to fix them)
  • Turning Maybe’s into “I want to know more”
  • How to handle Q&A, objections
  • Tips and Tools for Speaking Professionally

The Economic Power of Refugees & Immigrants

How Displaced People Are Fueling Innovation, Startups & Growth

What if the next unicorn founder is a refugee? And what if I told they already exists. This keynote dives into the plight of immigrants and refugees and the hardship they have to endure crossing borders and getting residence or citizenship.
Yet at the same time it highlights the importance & spark they bring to the local economies, their resilience against failure, and their drive to succeed. Thinking of refugees and immigrants as a key to revitalizing entire industries / economies when given the chance should be a way forward for all countries.

Perfect for: Economic forums, policy summits, global startup events, DEI initiatives, Refugee and Immigration summits and conferences

Audience Takeaways:

  • The untapped startup potential of immigrant communities
  • Policy and ecosystem shifts that benefit everyone
  • How diversity leads to innovation, not disruption
  • The cultural resilience and adaptability that make immigrants strong founders
