Investor pitch training in Amsterdam.
A room of up to twelve founders, one day, one sixty-second pitch rebuilt from the ground up. Taught by people who have sat on both sides of the table, hundreds of times, with real money on it.
Who teaches it
Jasper Wognum co-founded and ran Braincreators for nine years, raised money and sold to enterprises, and since 2024 hosts AI Salon Amsterdam, where founders pitch to him every month. Aren van Muijen is an actor who founded a solar company, wrote a novel, and used to be afraid of rooms. The two of them train you. Sterre Telman makes sure the day runs on the clock.
What you leave with
Sixty seconds that work without slides, practiced three times in front of a room that wants you to succeed. Both the cold open and the premiere on film, so you can see the difference. Reference material to keep practicing. And the alumni discount on one-to-one hours for the pitch that counts.
How a seat works
You sign up to the list; no payment, no commitment. Once the room is filling up we propose dates that work for the group. You confirm a date, we send one invoice, and the seat is yours. €750 excl. VAT per seat, as a founding price.
Four modules, one pitch.
Four modules. The rest of the day you practice: you pitch before we teach anything, again before lunch, and once more at the end.
About the open training.
Where in Amsterdam is the training?
At a location we host in Amsterdam, with lunch and drinks included. The exact venue is in the mail that comes with the date.
When is the next date?
There is no fixed calendar. Founders sign up to a list, and once the room is filling up we propose dates that work for the group. Sign up and you hear first.
What stage should I be at?
Pre-seed to Series A, or selling rather than raising. The method is the same: sixty seconds, one ask, no slides. What differs is who you are pitching to, and we work with that.
What does it cost?
€750 per seat excl. VAT, as a founding price. The price goes up once the concept has proven itself, and the word founding will go with it.
