The Startup Investors Lab was a Game-Changer for Me!
|
Coming out of the Founder Institute in Philadelphia, PA, my pitch wasn't resonating with investors the way I had hoped.
The three weeks I spent in the Startup Investor Lab completely transformed my approach. The structured program, combined with hands-on feedback from actual investors, allowed me to refine my pitch and elevate it to a level where it not only captures attention but drives serious interest. For any founder looking to sharpen their pitch and get in front of the right investors, the Startup Investors Lab is a must. It’s an opportunity to work directly with industry professionals who will push you to succeed and support you in making the crucial connections that will fuel your startup’s growth. |

Dr. Nimzing Ladep, a liver doctor and chronic disease specialist with the NHS, developed an app to educate and measure adherence to medications. He was originally focused on technology push vs. a customer centric approach to product development and seeking investment.
He learned how to apply customer discovery to his activities, by employing a greater sense of curiosity and empathy. His learning led to new insights and opportunities with his app, as well as for healthcare consulting expertise for projects in the UK and Africa. "It’s a complete difference in thinking that has reshaped my approach to investor funding."
