    Depending on your cohort’s stage and goals, Pitch Labs may include:

    • Foundations | Building Your Pitch Recipe

      Perfect for founders developing their first pitch or seeking clarity on what truly belongs in one. This workshop introduces the core ingredients of a great pitch, using Volition’s Pitch Recipe™ framework and practical exercises to help founders create their first cohesive story.

      🧭 Ideal for early-stage or first-time pitchers.

    • Evolution | Inside the Investor Mindset: From Good to Great

      This session explores how to move beyond the basics to craft a pitch aligns story, strategy, and substance. Founders learn how investors make decisions and how to use momentum, proof points, and vision to tell a compelling, high-trust story.

      🧭 Ideal for founders who’ve pitched before and want to refine strategy and resonance.

    • Transformation | Repairing the FrankenPitch™

      For founders who’ve received a lot of feedback—often conflicting—and want to reclaim their authentic voice. This advanced session helps founders identify common “FrankenPitch” patterns, filter external advice, and rebuild a pitch that aligns with their story and audience.

      🧭 Ideal for experienced founders navigating pivots or complex storytelling challenges.

    All workshops include interactive discussion, real-world examples, and Volition’s exclusive tools—Pitch Recipe™ and Momentum Arc™—designed to help founders build clarity, momentum, and connection in every story they tell.

    Looking for something specific? We also build custom content focused on pitch delivery, deck design, or communicating impact — drawing from over a decade of Volition’s pitch education experience.

  • Founders put learning into action through live coaching designed to strengthen clarity, delivery, and audience connection.

    We offer two formats, depending on your group’s goals and size:

    • Roundtable Coaching

      A hands-on, small-group or breakout room format where founders receive personalized feedback in an intimate setting. Each “room” features 3–4 founders and a dedicated pitch coach. Founders deliver their full pitch (3–10 minutes) and receive feedback from both peers and coaches.
      🧭 Ideal for community groups or public events where every founder wants a chance to pitch.

    • Live Coaching Masterclass

      A dynamic session designed for cohort-based programs. Up to three founders pitch live to the full group, receiving real-time feedback from a Volition coach. Throughout, the coach shares key insights relevant to the cohort, such as how to deliver a strong 3-minute pitch or what to emphasize when pitching for investment.
      🧭 Ideal for structured cohorts or accelerators seeking focused learning and group insight.

    Want every founder to have their moment?
    Combine both formats—starting with a Live Coaching Masterclass, then booking Roundtables and/or 1:1 coaching for deeper practice and individualized feedback.
