Fourteen founders,
one day at Startup Village.
The Nursery is the incubator at Startup Village Amsterdam. Its cohort walked in with a pitch and walked out with a better one, and you could see it. Sixty seconds, no slides, nowhere to hide.
What happened in the room.
Every founder pitched sixty seconds cold, before we taught a thing, on camera. Then the four modules, Nerve, Story, Delivery and The Room, with a second round before lunch and feedback from the room, and at the end the premiere of the new sixty seconds, with the whole cohort cheering each founder on.
No observers, no partners at the back. Fourteen founders, two trainers, one camera, from nine to six. The circle was the faculty.
In their words.
“A highly practical and interactive training, grounded in solid pitching techniques. The startups developed greater awareness of their body language, strengthened their stage presence and learned to present themselves with confidence.”
“From shaky knees to owning the stage.
What a transformation! Avocado Pitch brought the play, the energy, and the unexpected to The Nursery Cohort. Through movement, body awareness, and creative exercises, our founders discovered that pitching is about so much more than the words you say.
It’s about how you show up, what your body communicates, and the energy you bring into the room.
One session. Countless breakthroughs. A whole new level of stage presence.
And this was only Part 1. Avocado Pitch, we’re ready for the next round.”
“Great to see how quickly the whole cohort visibly improved.”
“The workshop helped me pitch with more confidence and was a lot of fun.”
“Thanks a lot Aren for your valuable inputs today! Learning from you is pleasure!”
