  • Presentation Prep Meetings

    Zoom
    For Founders

    The week before the event, each Founder will meet one-on-one with James and Stephen to finalize their presentation. These sessions are designed to give you direct, actionable feedback so you walk into the room confident, clear, and ready.

    You’ll be able to select a time slot that works best for you and book a private Zoom meeting directly from this page. Together, we’ll refine your story, tighten your delivery, and ensure your pitch aligns with what Funders are looking for.

  • Debrief Documents

    For Founders

    After each Founder’s Chair event, we provide a structured Funder Debrief Package designed to capture key insights, surface opportunities, and keep momentum going beyond the event. These documents are curated with funders in mind—concise, strategic, and actionable.
