Onto day 6 of sharing lessons from our Q2 Pachamama Ventures Investors & Founders Meeting! ⛰ 6️⃣ Founders who manage their time wisely instantly stand out. During our event we hosted a pitch demo and 5 early stage climate tech founders gave a short presentation (limited to 5 minutes each) about their company. I was impressed with all of them - the passion and dexterity displayed was nothing short of incredible. It was encouraging to hear about their stories, their why, and how they are willing their companies into existence through sheer grind and execution. I could not help but think that I have much to learn from them - how they took this one chance and made the most of it. Sometimes you will be given 5 minutes or less to make an impression. Preparation is absolutely crucial, but so is knowing your audience and being able to engage them in the best way possible. Fortune favors the prepared! #climatefounders #pitchdemo #climateVC

One of my favorite things about The Green Room (TGR) is how it brings together both active VCs and industry experts/former operators to give early-stage founders the honest, timely, and actionable advice they need on their pitch before they go out to raise. Though they represent different perspectives, all of these folks are hand-picked for their expertise on a particular topic - so when there's consensus, it's a really powerful signal to founders and helps them prioritize the changes that need to be made. This is something I hear consistently from founders who have participated: the specialized yet diverse panel is what helps take their pitch to the next level and a big part of what makes this place so special. Along those lines, I'm excited to announce an INCREDIBLE panel for TGR's next session focused on Life Science IT: Shaquille Vayda of Lux Capital, Sam Lesser of Norwest Venture Partners, and Vadim Shepel of Bench2Bio. Founders, you don't want to miss this one! Apply now to pitch (link in comments) - deadline 10/23. For more info about TGR, check out pitchtgr dot com
