Ben Wiener: Fever Pitch, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A Startup Story Where the Pitch Could Save-or End-It All

Mark is a startup founder with a big idea and an even bigger problem: He can't pitch it to save his life. Literally.

In Fever Pitch , author and venture capitalist Ben Wiener delivers a sharp, witty, and unexpectedly high-stakes business fable about one entrepreneur's race against time to fix his pitch presentation-or lose everything. Caught in a swirl of investor meetings, internal self-doubt, and increasingly bizarre events, Mark is sure of only one thing: His startup pitch almost works. But almost won't cut it when the clock is ticking, the money's drying up, and his startup's survival depends on a single word-yes.

As Mark stumbles through a gauntlet of unexpected allies, sharp-edged venture capitalists, and surreal revelations, he uncovers the one thing every founder must have to win venture funding: H. E.A. R.T.

This story-driven business novel takes you inside the head of a founder under pressure, revealing:

• The H. E.A. R.T. framework-the 5 essential elements of a pitch that mirrors how venture capitalists evaluate deals.
• Real startup struggles like entrepreneur stress, setbacks, how to overcome failure, and how to set up your startup for pitch success.
• The mindset shift founders must make to win investor trust.
• What actually happens when your pitch deck sounds smart-but not investable.
• A storytelling blueprint that mirrors how real investors think.

Whether you're a founder or a startup employee, or you're just curious about what really makes or breaks a company's big ask, Fever Pitch delivers the intensity of a thriller with the insight of a pitch coach.

Join the adventure and fund your startup by getting to the H. E.A. R.T. of your perfect pitch deck.
