  • Dina has helped our team prepare applications for grant programs and provided valuable feedback on our pitch deck, which led to us securing several equity free grants. She also significantly expanded our network of investors and startups, giving us crucial support in the early stages of building our company.

  • One of my favourite sessions on GrowthMentor — Dina is easy to talk to, she's very knowledgeable, keeps the conversation on track, and is super honest in the nicest way! I came with questions about honing in on our customer persona and how to validate an idea, and I've walked away with very clear next steps. I've already made progress in just 24 hours.

  • Lovely session with Dina! She gave us clear and actionable feedback and was really helpful in terms of the insights she gave us about positioning and honing in on our ICP. She even talked us through potential hypothesis of our personas right there on the spot. It was like getting a mini workshop on developing customer personas!
    Titania Veda
  • I thought I had a good pitch deck and go to market plan for a product I'm developing. I wanted to confirm so I reached out to Dina. Wow. Dina had so much insight into making my pitch deck and plan way more human but at the same time robust. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly.

  • Gaining clarity on who we are helped massively to connect with our audience and potential investors.
    Anthony GoulbourneCEO & founder, GDC
  • I had a great session with Dina! Her perspective was especially valuable given her experience on both sides as a founder and an evaluator in accelerator programs. She gave very practical, honest feedback on how to approach applications and what really matters from a reviewer's point of view. It was a focused and insightful conversation, and I left with a much clearer idea of how to position myself.
    Berrin Sevin
  • I had very productive session with Dina this morning. I was able to take away important insights and direction as to what my team's next steps need to be. What I appreciated the most was the re-direction back to customer interviews, where we need to gain more insight as to our product's viability.
    Jason McGriff
  • This is my second time working with Dina. She was helping me with some financial documents and brought a lot of new insight into the numbers and the story they are telling. I highly recommend her!

Answering Your Questions

  • We focus on three things:

    1. Business Essentials: Putting together and/or challenging your existing business essentials (business model, competitor analysis, market research, team, value proposition). This forms the base of your business, and we need to make sure you've thought of everything.

    2. Pitch Deck Creation: Slide-by-slide pitch deck development. We start with basic storytelling ideas and finish with a solid 12-15 slide pitch deck for fundraising and other stakeholders.

    3. Pitch Delivery: How you deliver your 30-second and 3-minute pitch is everything, and we’ll help you master it.

  • We offer 1-on-1 coaching by the hour, deck reviews, and the “Winning Deck Deal” — a six-session package that takes you from business story to an investor-ready deck. Current rates for all of them are on the Pricing page.

  • Whether you're just starting with an idea or already have traction, we help you articulate your vision, craft a compelling pitch, and build confidence in delivering it. Our personalized approach ensures your story resonates with your audience and drives results.

  • Incubators offer great value, but they can be competitive and broad. With Solegency, you get personalized, one-on-one coaching focused specifically on your needs, ensuring your story stands out and your pitch is investor-ready.

  • Our sessions are tailored to you. We start by deeply understanding your business, crafting a pitch deck that tells your story, and building your confidence in delivering it. Every step is designed to make you feel prepared and empowered.

  • While no one can guarantee success, our process is designed to maximize your chances by creating a clear, compelling, and professional pitch deck that resonates with investors.

    We’ve seen countless decks, both good and bad, and the difference often isn’t the business itself but the founder's ability to communicate it effectively. A great deck is personal, inspiring, and delivers a clear message. This is achievable only with a solid understanding of your business fundamentals, which we help you develop before crafting the deck.

  • Our goal is to equip you with a deep understanding of your business value and market, putting it into a pitch deck along with the skills to confidently present it. This significantly increases your chances of securing funding.

  • Absolutely. We'll take your existing deck and refine it, making sure it’s clear, consistent, and impactful. We’ll polish it so it shines in front of investors.
