We sit together with founders for a 30-45 minutes interview and give them the opportunity to share their BIG IDEA, introduce their team, explain how it all works and why they are the next BIG THING!
Next, we publish the interview on YouTube and promote it on social media channels to help investors find your company. Other founders may learn from you and even approach you for a strategic partnership.
Most importantly, we build your startup online profile on StartupBrite and then contact our private network of investors and pitch your company. Our network includes individual investors and VC funds.
I got to know Nick during a pitching event at WeWork in Los Angeles. My startup, Phenium, was selected as the winner of the event, and as part of the honor was an interview with StartupBrite. I, like many others, have never liked hearing or seeing a recording of myself. However, to be successful with a startup you have to stick your jaw out and step out of your comfort zone.
Nick had arranged for us to meet at a coworking space in downtown LA. Clearly, Nick knows what he is doing, because instead of booking a very boring conference room, Nick had arranged for the video interview to take place in a very nice lounge.
Nick’s co-founder Michael Witt (and his wife) also attended. Michael arranged for all the videoing.
Nick was very professional and asked very qualified questions. He had clearly read up on the material I had sent prior to our meeting. I truly enjoyed the entire interview, and highly recommend Nick and team for such interviews.
Once the interview was published on StartupBrite’s webpage, I started to share it with potential investors and clients. We received raving feedback and it helped us collect some funding.
Thanks again, Nick!Mårten Stenfors

"StartupBrite not only gave me a new platform to reach investors, but they also gave me the opportunity to share my story through the video interview. Strongly recommended for entrepreneurs! Also, strongly recommended for investors looking to learn about startups and learn about the founders they're investing in!"
StartupBrite is a great platform for startups to tell their story. With a video interview we're able to communicate the passion behind our projects, which isn't always evident in a pitch deck. Highly recommend for both founders and investors!

Thanks again Nick!
A pitch presentation can be categorized by several attributes like focus , length, timing etc. There are many categorizations that were born out of the fact that founders often present their idea in front of different audiences and for a different amount of time.
First-time founders often commit serious errors in their company management efforts blinded by their focus on the product/service itself. Too many times they bury themselves in irrelevant for their stage activities and that often untimely leads to the death of the company. In this post, we will try to give an overview of the most common mistakes that startup founders make.
Tech Coast Angels (TCA) is one of the most successful angel groups in the country and has been supporting innovative companies since 1997.
Expert Dojo is one of our partners and investors we work with. We think it makes sense to have a quick introduction of Expert Dojo to help our startups with a compiled information about this great accelerator in Santa Monica.
Do I need a pitch deck? Two versions of a deck? What are those? Executive summary? What does an executive summary contain? If I have one, why do I need the other? What is the main difference between a deck and a summary?
After you build your dream team and you start growing, you will need to partner with other organizations. A partnering organization will complement your activities, services, and products.
For many years, investors and the wider public considered that a startup is just a small company, but the differences between the underlying philosophies of a startup and a small company are so great that they barely have any similarities.
Successful branding requires focusing on building enough features into your product/service so that it will look substantially different from your competitors.
During our conversations with investors and startup founders, who have been through the fundraising process, we seem to find three common rules that can help you succeed in this process.
