Jenn Krentz
Executive Communication Coach for Tech Founders & Startup Leaders
Expert feedback on your pitch, investor deck, and presentation skills, so that you can close deals, secure funding, and communicate like a CEO
In 2026, building a tech product is easier than ever. AI lets you ship MVPs in weeks, polish demos in days, and generate slides in seconds.
Yet raising capital, inspiring your team, and closing deals requires skills most founders never learned. Investors, partners, and your team still judge you by how clearly and confidently you communicate, not how brilliant your code is. And investors fund founders, not products.
I help Seed to Series B tech founders bridge that gap.
Whether you’re preparing for investor meetings, pitch competitions, or board presentations, I make sure your message lands the way it should.
Running a tech startup is hard enough. When communication barriers slow you down, the stakes get even higher.
In today’s market with slowing capital in the US, a cautious Canadian ecosystem, and competitive LATAM seed-stage funding, scaling startups is harder than ever.
Founders who can’t communicate their business well lose:
Funding opportunities to founders who can tell a story
Team alignment and productivity
Enterprise deals and partnerships
Credibility at moments that matter
Your technical skill won’t cover a pitch that falls flat, a board meeting that confuses, or a negotiation that stalls.
Whether English is your second (or third language), or public speaking isn't your strength, communication challenges hold you back from the growth you've worked so hard to achieve.
I help tech founders break through these barriers so that they can scale their startup on the global stage.
I work with tech founders and executives remotely across Latin America, Canada, the United States, and Europe.
My programs and services work best for tech founders and startup leaders ready to bridge the gap between technical skill and soft skills.
We’re a great fit to work together if you are:
A first time tech founder (Seed to Series B) raising capital or preparing to pitch
A startup leader navigating Canadian, US or Latin America markets.
Teams that need alignment, clarity, and executive presence to scale
A non-native English speaker who needs to pitch, present, and lead confidently in English
A tech founder scaling fast who knows that clear communication is critical to your next stage of growth
The reality: AI lets almost anyone build a product. But the founders who actually scale? They communicate it in a way investors, partners, and teams understand and believe.
Executive Communication Coaching for Every Stage of Growth
I help tech founders and startup leaders communicate like the executives investors, boards, and teams expect:
1.Investor & Fundraising Communication- Perfect your pitch deck narrative, command the room, and handle tough investor Q&A like a seasoned founder—even if it’s your first time.
2.Leadership Communication & Executive Presence- Lead your team with authority, inspire alignment, and communicate priorities clearly to accelerate growth.
3.Public Speaking & Thought Leadership-Own the stage at conferences, media events, or investor panels. Deliver memorable, credible talks.
4.Board & Stakeholder Communication-Navigate high-stakes conversations and presentations with boards, advisors, and key stakeholders. Build trust quickly and professionally.
5.Sales & Business Development Communication-Close deals, win enterprise clients, and communicate your value in a way that converts.
6.Cross-Cultural & English Communication-Sound credible, confident, and authentic in English without losing your personality or authenticity.
How I Work
My coaching approach is direct, practical, and focused on the communication skills that move your business forward.
What We'll Do Together:
1. Identify Communication Gaps- Pinpoint specific habits that undermine your message like unclear phrasing, filler words, weak openings, or credibility gaps
2. Get Actionable, Expert Feedback- Slide-by-slide, call-by-call, scenario-by-scenario advice that you can implement immediately.
3. Practice Real-World Scenarios- Rehearse actual investor pitches, board presentations, sales calls, team meetings, and media interviews
4.Refine Your Complete Delivery- Master body language, vocal tone, pacing, word choice, grammar, and pronunciation so you sound as capable as you are
The result? You walk into every pitch, meeting, or presentation confident, clear, and credible.
