Colin McGuire - I Operate a Portfolio of 16 eCommerce Brands, Clarity's Top Customer Acquisition Expert answered:

There are plenty of pitch coaches on here, so if you wanted to learn for yourself - I am sure you could. However, easing dollars is more about the grind of contacting investors more so than it is giving the pitch. Don't get me wrong, your pitch needs to be great but more than half the battle is getting a meeting.

If I were you, I would find a co-founder who has a great amount of sales experience and isn't afraid to cold call people. Then, I would hire a pitch coach off of clarity like Tyler Crowley or myself. Tyler is the godfather of pitch coaches (in my opinion).

I would love to help you find a co-founder. I am pretty good at it and have done it a few times myself. If you need some help trying to figure out what your next steps are or how romantically find a co-founder and pitch them into joining you, feel free to shoot me a message. I would love to help.

Check out the reviews on my Clarity profile, not only do I love to help but I can absolutely help you out.
