Improve your pitching
A great pitch makes people want to take action. By focusing on the core value and impact of your product or service, we develop a clear, compelling narrative that fits your personal style. Effective pitching goes beyond choosing the right words. I help you connect with your message, your audience and yourself. That’s what makes a pitch people remember.
I help you to…
Build a compelling pitches: individual & team coaching
I work with you to develop a powerful pitch and prepare you to deliver it with confidence.
Through one-on-one or group pitch coaching, we explore the core of your story. Starting from your ultimate objective, I help you to bring structure and clarity to your narrative and find the right words to tell it. Together we create a powerful, authentic pitch. I provide you with practical tools to help you present with personal character and authentic confidence.
Strengthen your investment and funding pitches
Increase your success rate with investment pitches, public tenders, and academic grants.
Pitching for capital or competitive funding is a specialized skill. I provide case-specific pitch training for funding
- Startup & Scaleup Investment Pitches (Seed rounds, Series A/B, Venture Capital)
- Corporate Public Tenders and B2B sales pitches
- Academic & Science Grants including NWO grants (Veni, Vidi, Vici) and ERC grants (Starting, Consolidator, Advanced, and Synergy)
This specialized, targeted approach helps you strengthen your pitch and increase your chances of securing funding.
Learn how to pitch: masterclasses & workshops
Master the basics of creating a compelling goal-oriented pitch.
In my pitch workshops and masterclasses, I provide you or your team with insights and knowledge, inspiring examples, hands-on assignments, and practical exercises. Participants learn how to build a compelling elevator pitch from scratch, one that grabs attention and prompts action.
Pitch Perfect in a day
Turn pitching into a repeatable skill and apply it immediately.
Get the best of both worlds. I combine two workshops, spread over two half-days, with personalized individual pitch coaching. Together, we prepare you for a specific upcoming pitch with a clear goal. You will learn how to adapt your message dynamically to different audiences and master the delivery techniques you need to speak with authentic conviction.
About my work
How I work
The perfect pitch does not exist. What matters is the result that it achieves. That’s why my pitch masterclasses, workshops and coaching take your ultimate objective as their starting point. I help you build a captivating narrative, focusing on the elements that truly sets your project, product or service apart and the impact you want to create. I help you connect your story with your personal drive, experience and expertise to create powerful authentic pitches. I develop your presenting skills so you can deliver your pitch with infectious enthusiasm and authority.
What my clients say
“I really feel aligned with Loek’s identity-related approach. I realized that I had previously been trying to find a universal and “correct” way to talk about my project, whereas your approach — focusing on identity and finding your own voice — resonated with me deeply.”
Irina Lankelevich – CEO
“Loek is a very pleasant coach who makes everybody feel at ease even in situations that can be confrontational. His skill to flip your presentation around and make it much stronger, often within a couple of seconds, is impressive and a true eye-opener.”
Davy Groseman – Senior Designer
“The Pitch Training provided interactive, on the spot learning with useful hands-on tips. It showed the endless possibilities to shape your pitch to bring home your message. But most of all, it was great fun!”
Carlijn Buck – PhD candidate
