Pitch perfect doesn't exist. Pitch practiced does. Most of the time, we don't pitch to investors unless we really need to. There's a lot on the line, the stakes are high... It's no surprise you feel the pressure. But for Founders who have been through it successfully, they'll tell you there's only ONE thing that can make it easier... PRACTICE! Practicing your pitch is key to helping you refine your message and be better prepared for the questions that will come your way. The more you practice, the more confidence you will gain 💪 If you're looking for an opportunity to pitch your business to investors, at the end of the month we're connecting 60 UK founders to investors who can give you actionable feedback on your purpose-driven business plan and help build your network – plus it's a real opportunity to pitch for funding. Applications close this Friday 18th October – apply now ⬇️ Know a founder who should apply? Tag them in the comments!

The UK investment market allocates less than 1% to impact ventures. ...Let that figure sink in. So many of the brands we read about on LinkedIn are purpose-driven, and while they are rightly celebrated on the platform, the investment market is yet to catch up. Wondering why? Many institutions still believe that purpose and profit can't coexist. ❌ But the data shows that this is a myth. Our goal is to close this perception gap and fast-track impact founders towards investment. At Unrest, we've connected with 700+ purpose-led businesses, and supported 60 companies through four cohort programmes, we know what impact founders are capable of. That's why I'm so excited that we've launched the first round of Impact <> Investor Office Hours, an opportunity for 60 impact founders to pitch their businesses to an investor from Speedinvest, Seedcamp, Octopus Ventures Molten Ventures and many more in a 30-minute virtual session. Applications close this Friday 18th October – and it takes less than 10 minutes to apply. Get your application in now! (link in comments)
