Investor pitching

Once you are happy with your pitch deck, you need to be able to deliver a stellar pitch to convince LPs to invest. If you cannot relay information in a compelling and convincing way, potential investors will look elsewhere. Having sat in countless investor meetings, we know what works and what doesn’t.

Brackendale offers one-on-one and group coaching sessions to provide investment team members across private equity, growth capital and VC firms with the essential skillset to engage and impress investor audiences. Our sessions are tailor-made to you, helping you to build on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses. We work with you to streamline your messaging to ensure you attract the right investors.

Perfecting your pitch

We will begin with the basics of effective communication and then focus on your story and messaging. Each participant carries out a filmed run-through of the pitch deck before we give feedback and identify the areas that need work.

We will then run through exercises within different scenarios to improve upon any sticking points. This could involve defining key messages for fund managers who ramble or go off on a tangent or presenting without the deck for those who tend to read off the slides.

 

Q&A roleplay

The ability to give strong answers to investor questions can prove to be a stumbling block with investor pitching. No matter how well you know your pitch, you can never be sure what investors will ask.

As part of our package, we include a Q&A roleplay, where we assume the role of a potential investor and ask deliberately challenging questions designed to faze. Afterwards, we will identify the best answers and work on “flagging” and “bridging” (i.e. techniques to gracefully transition from a difficult question to your main point or message).

 

AGM Presenting and Conference Speaking

In addition to investor pitching training, we also specialise in helping to prepare you for speaking at Investor AGMs, industry conferences and filmed speaking opportunities. We create tailor-made workshops geared to helping improve your presentation style and delivery, ensuring content and messaging are on point and that you and your company come across in the best possible light.

Our courses are geared at everyone, from first-time public speakers to more experienced team members looking to brush up on their performance.

 

Online LP pitch training

Brackendale also offers online pitch training. Public speaking is always a challenge and presenting to an unseen audience using conferencing technology can be especially daunting. Our coaching sessions are designed to help LPs become more comfortable speaking to a virtual audience by giving them the tools that help them to communicate their messages in a clear and engaged manner.
