Morrow Capital Collective

Congratulations to ONEHEALTH GROUP, makers of Voyce, a medical technology, data acquisition, and data analytics company creating a wellness platform for pets! And congratulations to 757 Angels and VentureSouth for nominating the highest-scoring startup in last month's Morrow Capital Collective. "Big market, innovative solution" (4/5 stars) "Straight forward business model with early traction. Investment use clearly outlined with exit opportunity. Appears to have a strong founding team (maybe a little big). Financial and Product Roadmap are helpful to have. It could be a little aggressive as full team size is unknown." (5/5 stars) "Great traction" (4/5 stars) For members of Morrow who are interested in learning more about the Morrow Capital Collective, simply request an onboarding session in the new Morrow Member Center: https://lnkd.in/gHBGeQ_v

Cindy Skalicky 🔷 from On Point Communications, LLC is back next week with another webinar! Run Tighter Meetings: How to Nail Calls & Conversations with Investors   - What if - in 2024 - you could close deals faster with fewer calls? - How do you prepare for in-person meetings or virtual conversations with potential investors? - Are you able to take turns and balance the call flow? - Do you tend to overtalk, go into the weeds, and say more than is needed?  - Do you feel 100% present with your audience as a listener?      Running a tight 30-minute call is not easy. Many leaders wait way too long for the stakeholders to chime in. Many founders talk too long and too much- period. And to top it off, it takes more calls than it should to close the deal. When communicating with stakeholders, your Meeting Strategy Matters.   In this online masterclass, attendees will walk away understanding…. 1. How to handle the first 5 minutes of the call 2. The Art of the Toss and how this could sink you 3. Practical Tools to Own the Meetings You Run AND get what you want by the end   Close faster in 2024. Register now at https://lnkd.in/eQ-J2dXj Can't make it? Register anyway and you'll be sent the recording once the session finishes! See you there!
