In this episode of Girls Make Bank, Jac sits down with Kat Weaver, founder of Power to Pitch, to discuss practical strategies for women entrepreneurs looking to secure funding by delivering powerful pitches. Kat, an expert in guiding female founders through the pitching process, shares her unique approach to turning rejection into a positive experience that drives growth. She emphasizes the value of viewing each rejection as a chance to strengthen one's pitch, refine messaging, and build resilience.
Throughout their conversation, Kat dives into the core elements of an effective pitch, from crafting a compelling "why" story that resonates emotionally to focusing on language that is clear and straightforward. She offers actionable advice on avoiding vague buzzwords, rhetorical questions, and industry jargon—common pitfalls that can detract from a pitch’s impact. Kat also underscores the importance of researching and understanding potential investors to shape pitches in a way that speaks directly to the audience’s values and priorities.
