I conducted a pitching workshop for Russian startup founders going through the Sales Jet Accelerator program by Sistema Asia, powered by Accelerating Asia. The program is aimed at Series A companies looking to take their business to the next level.

In this specific case, I’ve worked with two Russian startups trying to expand to Southeast Asia. One is a company called Food4Test which provides food intolerance blood testing and personalized nutrition programs.

Another startup is Autovisor making cybersecurity solutions for vehicles.

I shared my public speaking lessons as a stand-up comedian and made my recommendations on how the teams can improve their pitch decks and presentations. Hope they found it helpful and would shine in their upcoming pitch opportunities. Otherwise, they can just blame Russians (even though they are Russians too).

Call-to-action: If you are running an accelerator, a startup or corporate innovation / intrapreneurship program and looking for someone to help you with pitching and storytelling training, happy to have a chat.
