There’s more to it than just “Got venture capital?”

Drawing from a wealth of experience in professional development, coaching, and business-to-business communications skills development, Brenda Besdansky, president of San Francisco Bay Area-based Speakers World is regarded as a preeminent financial presentation skills coach for “101 to Wall Street” companies.

“Ya’ gotta have capital.”

Focusing on the entrepreneurial and early entrant arenas, Brenda coaches these “players” on how to effectively package and project their strategy, talent, leadership, and general “stage-craft” in preparation for negotiating the highly competitive venues of securing venture capital.

“Capitalizing on these attributes, and presenting a compelling and strategic vision, along with your existing resources, and a boundless competitive spirit in an influential and persuasive fashion will be critical in motivating investors to become active contributors in your growth,” Brenda said.

“In order to achieve this, your enterprise must be introduced in a finely crafted wrapper that not only meets the potential investor’s focus, but their own criteria for success as well,” she added. “Brown bag or generic lunches are out. Tailored presentations are in.”

“Get real, man.”
