Real Innovation and The Admin Effect Receive Investment Through The Founder’s Chair
The Founder’s Chair is thrilled to spotlight two standout companies that have recently secured investment through our platform: Real Innovation, Inc. and The Admin Effect. These founders showed impressive entrepreneurial spirit and leveraged their unique business models and innovative approaches to achieve success.
Peter Reierson, CEO-Founder – Real Innovation, Inc.
Peter Reierson, the CEO and Founder of Real Innovation, Inc., impressed us with his well-prepared pitch and engaging presentation style. Peter’s journey with TFC is a testament to how strategic preparation and adaptability can lead to success. Here are some key insights from Peter’s experience:
- Pitch Preparation: James suggested having a one-pager to distribute to the Funders. Peter found this extremely helpful, as it kept his presentation organized and less distracting. This chronological format allowed Funders to follow along easily and stay engaged.
- Research and Relatability: Peter did his homework, conducting brief research on each Funder to find common ground during conversations. This personalized approach helped him build rapport and relate to Funders on a more personal level.
- Humor and Adaptability: Bringing humor into his pitch and rolling with uncomfortable moments showcased Peter’s ability to handle pressure and maintain a positive atmosphere.
- Networking: Beyond the pitch, Peter found value in networking with his peers. The post-event conversations opened doors for meaningful collaborations between companies.
- Mentorship and Growth: Peter expressed the need for virtual meetings to groom Founders on the dos and don’ts, enhancing their chances of closing deals even before the event.
Despite the positive outcome of Peter’s session, he identified one of the biggest challenges to be investing months of research and work into a pitch only to face the possibility of losing the deal. His proactive approach and openness to continuous learning have positioned Real Innovation, Inc. for significant growth.
