Testimonials
“Based on my recent experience from just the two initial workshops, I can not imagine my missing a single session... Even with at least 5 webinars scheduled every week, yours are the only ones marked in a colored “Don’t Miss” box. You can bet that God willing, I will be at every one of your Bootcamps to continue to improve on my Perfect Pitch. Thanks for the very professional assistance. I can hardly wait for the next session.”

“Linda provided wonderful advice and coaching to aid my transition from presenting results in an exclusively academic environment to being able to engage and build interest from private and corporate audiences... She provided an important component of my entrepreneurial growth and education, which has resulted in successful recruitment of seed funding for our company. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone interested in pursuing an entreprenuerial opportunity.”

“The 10Q™ Startup Accelerator Bootcamp helped me find the right voice for our ideas. Linda gave me a structure to follow with 10 essential questions, carefully examined and answered one at a time. At the end of the Bootcamp, I had a story tell, that was simple, powerful, and beautiful. Linda proved that delivering the perfect pitch is not simply an art, but a skill that can be learned and applied to any settings. Our investment in the Bootcamp will pay for itself many times over.”

“It was obvious in our first meeting that [Linda] possessed a rare combination of intellectual depth, technical curiosity and excellent interpersonal skills... She is one of those trusted few that I go to for everything from sanity checks to directed personal access to the right person at a strategic point of contact. My advice is to add her to your team as well, if you can.”

“When we were first getting Immuneering off the ground, Linda provided great advice on giving effective presentations. I was already an experienced PowerPoint user, yet Linda's knowledge of the program is second to none and she taught me quite a bit in a short amount of time. Her advice is delivered in a fun and relaxing way. I believe that for any new entrepreneur, working with Linda is time well spent.”

“After the two [bootcamp] sessions, on the plane ride trip to the Cleantech Open, I reworked my pitch... I pitched the newly revised version to 5 American solar cell manufacturers, one potential dealer for Western US and Dow Chemical. The answer was a resounding ”Yes” from all 7 entities even though this means they will be contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring my innovations to market. You can’t beat 100%.”

“Linda is a highly experienced coach for entrepreneurs. She is especially adept at getting a scientist to step away from the detail in which he/she is enmeshed and create an accessible presentation that will deliver the goods to the appropriate audience.”

“...Thanks also to your help, the pitch presentation went quite well. We got many questions and the panel was really engaged... I read your blog about the value of business competitions and I can tell you that I actually experienced some of the things you said.”

“Linda is great. She has an uncanny ability to grasp the most important points from a business proposal and re-frame them into a compelling story. And with raising money, it’s all about the story. In the early days of Qteros, Linda was instrumental in helping to refine and focus our investor pitch; ultimately, the slide deck that helped us raise over 30 million dollars.”

“Your webinar was really wonderful. I have learned so much from you and plan on taking your bootcamp. While I of course want to get my 10 minute pitch in shape and get financing for my project, I just find that you are such a good teacher, that I thoroughly enjoy learning from you.”
