"So, Rare Founders is a pitching competition, right?" 🎤 Nope, not really… 🤔 I've been spreading the word about our event next week, and a lot of people have been asking me this. This event is an opportunity for founders to pitch their startups 🚀 and for investors to pitch their funds 💰. There's no money on the line. 🚫💸 But it's all about having the guts. The guts to stand up in front of a room full of strangers and explain what you are building in under 1 minute. ⏱️ And let me tell you, that's freaking hard! People get nervous, struggle to explain their solution, or go over time… 😬 The pitches aren't always perfect, but that's not the point. Rare Founders’ events are about finding the courage to grab the mic and share your passion 🔥 Not everyone is willing to put themselves out there. But those who do are then admired! 🤩 So that's what Rare Founders is all about: courage and support! 🙌 Come see us next week Tuesday (22nd Oct)! Get your free ticket via the link in my profile.

The startup scene in Atlanta continues to amaze me—so many incredible founders connecting, collaborating, and creating spaces for each other to grow. It’s exciting to see communities like this thriving and building momentum. Had an incredible time at Village Capital’s Reverse Pitch event, where accelerators took the stage to pitch to founders! It’s inspiring to see Southeast Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) championing overlooked founders across industries. The founder’s journey is never easy—it’s full of twists and lessons learned. That’s why I started SlideDeckk to empower founders with the tools and stories they need to succeed. It was also such a joy to finally meet the founder of Amiqo, a brilliant builder I’ve admired online for a while, shout out to Kyle Schaffer ! There’s nothing like turning those digital connections into real-world relationships! And it’s not just Atlanta. Growing startup scenes in cities like Charlotte are creating similar energy, which is why I’m excited to head to Venture135 next week. Here’s to building stronger ecosystems across the Southeast! Founders, what’s been your biggest challenge lately? Let’s connect—shoot me a DM!
