Client Testimonials

While practicing my start-up social enterprise business pitch with Ash recently he amazed me with some high-quality and unique suggestions including:
* How to re-envision our value proposition
* Identified innovative funding approach
* Positioning the new value proposition as a cause that everyone would care about in a call to action Ash is an interesting public speaker, skilled presenter, supportive, and collaborative with introductions to connections of mutual interests.
Timothy MeadowsHealthcare and Business Executive
I co-lead Cisco HackIT, which is Cisco’s largest 24-hour global hackathon. For the past two years, we have worked with Ash as a Pitch Coach to work with each of the Cisco HackIT Finalist teams to perfect their business pitch. Ash definitely brings a coaching process that produces results. There was a night and day difference between the pitches the teams gave on the first day of the hackathon to when they gave their pitches during HackIT Finals. Ash was able to teach the teams the magical formula to pitch successfully to any audience, anytime, through the art of storytelling and using his TIE Model. Ash helped the teams expand their business idea’s intrigue, persuasion power, opportunity value, and most importantly gain internal support of their ideas.
Carlene KyleHigh Tech Manager
“I met Ash during a SV entrepreneur meetup, where he gave a presentation how to do business pitch. I really liked his talk, so we set up a coaching section with him to talk about my startup idea (very early stage, I am testing out my ideas and building MVPs). Ash was pretty knowledgeable and gave me really good tips and advices even though he had only 3-5min to understand what I am trying to do. I would recommend him to early startup entrepreneurs.”
Cong Trinh Applied Materials
“I am very thankful to Ash to gain from his expertise as a coach and mentor. From our very first meeting he brought new ideas about business plan, pitching, and the role of founder at the center of the whole process. He took extra time to understand the business and sat down to explain the go to market strategy. He is always optimist about the future and helped us understand the billion-dollar market up for grab when executed well. I highly recommend him and will continue benefitting from his services in the future.”
Anil Kumar Founder, RxHomeTest.com
I want to personally thank you for your invaluable mentoring and coaching with Data Miners for the internal Cisco competition. We have certainly gained more self-confidence in our pitching technique and how we can tie in the business proposition and the technical solution into an effective pitch.
