Investment Readiness Programme: Convince investors your business is the one to back
PitchReady Sprint is a 12-week investment readiness programme. We’ll guide you to develop a compelling business case and craft the three critical fundraising assets you’ll need to convince investors your business is the one to back – a believable business plan, credible financial projections and a persuasive pitch – so you’re in a much better position to secure the vital funds you need to grow.
The best course I’ve ever attended. You are investing in a programme with hands-on support – not a set of videos. The quality of templates and instructions were very high indeed and you walk away at the end of the programme with a high-quality set of assets and the confidence to seek investment.

– How it works –
Getting you Pitch Ready
Raising investment is tough. On average just 1% succeed. Through our 12-week investment readiness programme, comprising of three Asset Sprints, we’ll share with you our trusted and proven methodologies that result in our clients being 40x more likely to succeed.

You’ll have access to dedicated live development sessions, crucial support through digital content, plus a full set of professional templates, guides and checklists. We’ll guide you to develop a credible and believable business case and create the critical fundraising assets you’ll need to convince investors that your business is the one to back
Week 1 – 2: Understanding the investment landscape
We’ll begin with a deep dive into the current investment landscape and delve into the investors’ mind set. We’ll explore the fundraising journey, your business valuation, the mind of an investor and proof points that get their attention, giving you the very best chance, they’ll back your business. You’ll also receive a copy of the best-selling books, Investable Entrepreneur and 24Assets.
Week 3 – 5: Sprint One (The Perfect Plan)
This is all about developing your business strategy and framing your business case for investment. We’ll delve into the fundamentals of an investable business plan and guide you to identify the red flags and gaps that may hinder your progress with investors. By the end of the Sprint, you’ll have an investor ready business plan that details your implementation strategy and documents how you’ll deliver investors a return on investment.
Week 6 – 8: Sprint Two (The Perfect Projections)
Sprint Two is where we delve into the numbers. We’ll guide you to create a credible forecast of your business growth over the next five years. With our support and access to our exclusive projections template, you’ll have everything you need to map out your income and expenditure, cash-flow and balance sheet movements for the next five years – we’ll even guide you to create the metrics needed for investors to make an informed decision.
Week 9 – 11: Sprint Three (The Perfect Pitch)
During this sprint you’ll produce a set of convincing and compelling pitch materials that quickly and clearly explain to investors what makes your idea special, and why they should invest. With our guidance, content frameworks and premium pitch templates, you’ll create content that clearly articulates your value proposition and onboards investors in your vision, while also evidencing your strategy for delivering a return on their investment.
Week 12: Making it Happen
In the final week, it’s all about preparing your investment campaign. We’ll explore a tried and tested playbook for meeting, seeking and converting investors and give you tips and advice on how to run successful investor outreach and quickly close a deal on the very best terms. Finally, we’ll finish with an open Q&A so you feel confident to push forward with your investor outreach.

What our clients say
I had attended several workshops run by James and was impressed by the level of expertise. This programme didn’t disappoint. It’s excellent, and one I would happily recommend to any entrepreneur looking to learn more about the mindset of the investor.
I can honestly say your course has been one of the best business investments I’ve ever made. Not only have I learned so much, but it has caused me to re-evaluate so many things, making my business stronger.
I’m very impressed. As we’re bootstrapping, every penny spent is prioritised, but I really feel this has been one of the best things I’ve spent money on for any of my businesses. I’m now able to drive my business forward and the tools provided will be useful in the long term.
The best course I’ve ever attended. James is meticulous in his delivery – you are investing in a course with hands-on support from James – not a set of videos. The quality of templates and instructions were very high indeed and you walk away at the end of the programme with a high-quality set of assets and the confidence to seek investment.
Honestly… I am overwhelmed with how perfect the programme really is. You should charge more! I got funded at £443k in exchange for 5% equity – the results speak volumes. James’ detailed and well delivered style really suited my learning

Why join our investment readiness programme?
An alarming number of entrepreneurs fail to raise investment, despite more money than ever being invested into startups. The reason for this is simple, entrepreneurs don’t speak the language of investors.
Entrepreneurs speak about ideas, possibilities and opportunities, whereas investors prefer to speak about risk, implementation and proof. The 1% of entrepreneurs who do succeed at raising investment are the ones who are able to bridge this gap. The one thing that sets this elite group apart from the 99% who fail isn’t their idea, but their ability to speak the language of investors.
Investors hold all the cards – it’s on the founder to make sure they speak to them in their terms, delivering the information they’re looking for in the way they’re looking for it. By attending this investment readiness programme, you position yourself in the top few per cent of founders raising investment and increase your chances by up to 40x.
