Successfully negotiate investment deals that value your startup's real potential and build lasting, mutually beneficial investor relations
Ben Kimura-Gross
Negotiator

As an entrepreneur, making deals is part of your day-to-day: Deals with clients, partners, and

...Investors.

"Show me the money!" you wanna say, and then you tell them what you need it for.

And that's your first mistake.

And the first lesson of this course: Never 'need' anything.Know your worth, your valuation. Stand by it, present it with confidence.

You are an amazing investment opportunity.

Walk into every investor meeting with high confidence, a clear strategy, and persuasion skills that will get you what you want.

As a startup or a young company, money left on the table can be the difference between make or break.

So never ask for what you think you 'deserve.'Instead, negotiate for what you're worth.

Join this 5 part course with Ben Kimura-Gross, to refine your negotiation skills and bring more exciting opportunities to your startup.

In high growth companies there’s a lot on the line, and it’s critical to collaborate effectively with advisors, team members, and investors. Ben's impact has increased my confidence and ability to take control of my impulses and guide conversations for the best outcomes; even in the most high pressure moments. As a result I have more productive conversations, where everyone feels positive about next steps - win-wins! Ben’s style is relaxed and non-judgemental, creating safe spaces to explore your own personality and discuss challenges we face as individuals and as a group. Ben’s course was a revelation on how I could move forwards in my business, career and personal life. You join the course as a group of strangers but, by the end of the course, you feel connected in arms with your peers."‍
