We prepare our founders to get ready to raise by offering opportunities to pitch for feedback and capital both in the Danger Room in our Telegram community and in our weekly Thursday live Pitch Kung Fu sessions with experts and funders. 

Founders upload their 2-minute video pitch into the Danger Room ahead of Pitch Kung Fu. 

2-minute video pitches for Danger room, 2-minute live pitches, no decks and no slides. 

We look for the following in selecting those to get their Fu on and Pitch live: 

1. You are active in the weekly sessions and show progress in the most important element in getting fundraising: Market readiness. Founders think they can skip getting early 100-500+ client conversation feedback BEFORE they build and attempt to raise. 
2. Founders that show they are hi-learner and are actively using the channels in telegram and ask their questions to get real-time guidance. You can’t win at pitching without a very well reasoned GTM launch plan. 
3. Founders that upload their 2-minute video pitch weekly in the Danger Room show the most growth in progressing their pitch readiness. 
4. Founders that give feedback to other founders in the Danger Room and other channels learn the fastest. The other benefit is that the resources, relationships and investors you need are sitting in another founders' warm market. 
5. We prioritize Fusion42 Plus members: More on that HERE. 
6. We believe that pitch decks are the result of thoughtful research and feedback from many clients and market analysis. Going out to raise to pitch capital also comes after all the startup homework most founders think they can skip. Pitch decks, and pitching comes after getting market and thus, raise ready.
