NYC Tech Founders Public Speaking Practice Sessions

​Every day I meet founders who are incredible but when given the stage to pitch their business, the skill to communicate their vision with conviction and clarity is not there. That's why I'm hosting this series of practice sessions.

​No investors, no judgment, no stakes. Just founders practicing in front of other founders.

​Format & Vibe:

• ​A safe space for those who want to seriously improve (all levels welcome!)

• ​15 minutes - arrival

• ​1 hour - prepared and impromptu stories / pitches with feedback from the audience

• ​30 minutes - mingle

​What to expect:

• ​Reps in front of a live audience with real nervous systems and heartbeats

• ​A sharper, clearer version of your pitch by the end of the night (if you choose to speak!)

• ​Honest feedback from peers who aren't trying to sell you anything

• ​The reps that turn "I'm not a good public speaker" into "I'm getting better at this"

• ​A community of friends to keep practicing with between sessions

​Who am I:

• ​I'm Kaila, head of our early stage founder community Antler (not investor) and was a former competitive public speaker and storyteller. I love presentations and acting and performing.

• ​More than anything, I love helping people become better communicators so I'm EXCITED to host this for fun more than anything
