Clients that work with me have raised more than $385M, and averaged $1M / WEEK in 2018. You can't afford to miss your ONE SHOT with that big-money investor & end up embarrassed because your pitch sucked.
In the last year, my clients’ pitches have been:
-On the desk of the CEO of Softbank Vision Fund
-In front of Alibaba Capital & directors of Apple & Google Ventures
-Presented to Mark Cuban
-Used to close Silicon Valley SuperAngels
-In the boardrooms of multiple NFL team owners
-Through the gauntlet of The Arcview Fund’s LPs
-Peppered with every question under the sun by hardass Brooklyn construction-money investors
-and my personal favorite, “I pitched my neighbor down the street last week, and now he just wired us a quarter of a million dollars” (real client quote!!)
First time raising from professional investors? You have a 5-10% chance to successfully raise any money at all. My clients hit 50%+.
I can't help everybody, but we may be a great fit if:
You are a GREAT business owner, but can’t find the words to write about it
You’re not happy with the way your internal draft Business Plan or Pitch Deck document is turning out
You know you can do the work, but just don’t have enough time
You’ve got upcoming investor meetings in the next couple of weeks – and the Pitch Deck’s just not coming together!
You just need someone who can take the entire project off your shoulders, and KNOW 100% that they will tell your company’s story RIGHT

Benefits of working with me:
+You'll put your best foot forward during your ONE shot with that big-money investor who can cut you a check at the table... if you just pitch it right
+You’ll end up with investor-grade documents that will raise capital
+You’ll save money by taking my high-quality work and reusing it in your sales decks
+You won’t have to figure it out on your own
My clients have a LOT to say about me:
✅"A lot of freelancers sell themselves as deck pros but Evan is truly the best at this exercise. I came to him with a lot of anxiety and an urgent need for my deck to be made investor ready. Evan was so good at explaining step by step how he would work on my document and the result i would get and he delivered on TIME! I am so much more confident to start pitching potential investors. I would 100% work with again!!"
✅"This is is the first of many projects we'll be working on together. Highly recommend Evan and his team to anyone looking to nail their investor deck."
✅"Evan is an absolute rockstar. I learn more from 25 minutes with Evan than any business book I've ever read. Evan gives straightforward, actionable advice, telling you what you need to hear as opposed to what you may want to hear. He isn't a yes man, but tells you what you need to do go where you want to go. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for fundraising advice. A+++"
Not every business is my client, though – some signs we might not be a good fit include:
✗The company is struggling to pay salaries (I can’t do that in good conscience)
✗Rather than improve your skills & process, you only want someone to pitch investors on your behalf (this is a "regulated activity" by the SEC & FINRA)
✗You've been in “stealth mode” for 3 years, and you don’t want to give any details to incoming investors of what it is exactly that you’ve been doing – or what you will do with their money
I've pitched 100s of investors & successfully raised funds my own Consumer Products business as CFO/COO, so I have solid understanding as an entrepreneur of what it takes to generate a business plan that you feel confident pitching, and investors feel safe investing in.
My background in numbers:
+#1 GLOBALLY on Upwork in Pitch Decks, Business Planning (and the entire Finance category) by volume, and was even featured on Upwork's Times Square ad on their IPO day
+Over 1,000 business plans & pitch decks written, with over 2,000 investor documents redlined
+Over 1,000 financial forecasts written from scratch
+Over $80 million raised: equity, debt incl. SBA financing, mezzanine finance incl. SBIC
+$250 million bid for a portfolio of ExxonMobil assets spread across four continents, 80,000 pages of DD written in 5 languages - delivered in 3 weeks.
+Consulted for Top 3 Management Consulting firms (e.g. McKinsey, BCG, Bain) as an industry expert
