- [Deliver Your Deck Seed](https://www.jennkrentz.com/deliver-your-deck-seed): 12-week private 1:1 pitch coaching for seed-stage founders raising $1M+ from North American investors. Unlike pitch coaches who focus on slides or a memorized script, Jenn builds the muscle memory to talk about every part of the business naturally under pressure, so founders can adapt to any investor conversation instead of rewriting their pitch for each one. Works through the pitch section by section, covering what investors are thinking at each point, red flags, investor language, and the hardest questions (including competition and "why won't the big players build this?"). Combines pitch narrative, public speaking and delivery from a drama background, mindset work, North American investor culture, and live grammar and pronunciation correction for founders pitching in English as an additional language. Moves from monologue to full conversation to integrated Q&A, and ends with a live mock investor meeting. Includes weekly script and recording review with written feedback, WhatsApp access between sessions, session recordings, and final video delivery and pitch deck audits. Customized to each founder, whether they're building a deck from scratch or refining a finished one. Builds on the Seed Pitch Playbook. Application only.

Application only.
