Founders who have completed the Pitch it Plan™ program have raised multiple rounds of capital, become publicly listed, and gained acceptance into prestigious accelerators like Y Combinator, Techstars, Visible Hands, Grid110, XRC Labs, and more.
The Pitch it Plan™ program, community, and advising empowers founders to create an investor-ready pitch deck in a few days.
“As a Black man pitching a deep-tech hardware solution I experienced so many no's that I was considering giving up. Going through PiP and getting your direct feedback on how I was communicating to investors changed my entire pitch and gave me confidence.”
Marc Ward, Socian Technologies
"Within 4-6 weeks of completing PiP, I closed my Angel round and I've never felt more confident in my narrative and pitch."
Jess Lynch, Wishroute
"I liked the honest feedback and how in-depth we went into understanding segments, competitive markets, and areas of focus. Every underrepresented founder should use this!"
Topaz Smith, EN-NOBLE
“I closed my lead investor 2 days after sending my pitch video."
Mati Amin, Lit Learning
"Early-stage founders trying to build a pitch deck you need to subscribe. It's worth every single sweat."
Valentine Osakwe, Peep Connect
“I think your platform is brilliant! I actually feel more comfortable sending a video link rather than a downloadable deck.”
Toyosi Babalola, Abulé

We believe it's not a pipeline problem, but rather a connection problem.
Scroobious solves this problem. Angel and early-stage investors can discover and connect with overlooked founders in a discreet and scalable way.
Effortlessly find and contact founders you want to put your money behind in an easy, fun, and efficient way.
In this month's newsletter, I want to shed light on a concerning trend I've observed: a growing number of women founders have confided in me about their feelings of inadequacy following difficult investor meetings. They often internalize these encounters as personal failures, believing they need to refine their pitches or storytelling techniques.
Venture funding has consistently been one of our nation's most inequitably distributed resources, persisting throughout the industry's existence. The strides made by women and minority founders following George Floyd's murder and the diversity commitments during COVID-19 have been obliterated in the past two years.
Happy New Year! Larry David would have a conniption about that greeting at the end of January, but, this is the first newsletter of 2024 and I truly do hope you have had a wonderful start to the year.
From launching our investor marketplace to helping write and pass a landmark California law requiring public disclosure of investment diversity metrics, to witnessing investor discovery of founders on our platform result in funding, 2023 was full of value-building momentum!
