January 26, 2024 – Scott Kelly from Black Dog Venture Partners and has hit a sweet spot in the creation of the VC Fast Pitch. Innovation and striking out to create something new requires community and grit. Pitching an Investor Deck in front of a room of people is daunting to say the least but Scott has created an atmosphere of levity and candor. Less than a month ago I was Montessori prekindergarten teacher, however, none of that seems relevant in the kind and matter of fact feedback coupled with the earnest way the room was rooting for each other. I was genuinely surprised and impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to all who helped make last night happen! – Raney Walden CEO at Show Us Your Mutts
