## About

<p><strong>The Neuroscience of Authority</strong></p><p>VCs fund fewer than 1 in 100 founders who pitch them. When they pass, it's usually not the technology — it's that the founder didn't communicate effectively, or make a meaningful connection with the investor.</p><p>If nobody ever handed you the unwritten rules of US investor culture, this clinic is for you — doubly so if you're pitching in a second language.</p><p>Here's what most pitch coaching misses: the investor's decision starts in the brain, not the spreadsheet — often before they're even aware of it. Jennifer Pawlitschek coaches AI and SaaS founders from all over the world using the neuroscience of how that decision actually gets made, so your complex ideas land — and win buy-in. What's clear: the best technology in the room doesn't win. The founder the investor can actually connect with wins.</p><p>When you're an outsider to investor culture, that distance is even greater — not because your product is weak, but because you're carrying a translation load your non-technical peers are not.</p><p>The goal isn't to "dumb things down." It's to make sure you present so that everyone in the room leans forward and wants more.</p><p>Jennifer's video series unpacks the brain science the clinic is built on: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-joy-pawlitschek-769a80a/details/featured/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-joy-pawlitschek-769a80a/details/featured/</a></p><p>This is a 90-minute, neuroscience-based clinic, capped small so everyone gets real, personal feedback.</p><p><strong>Is this you?</strong></p><p>You've heard some version of:</p><p>— "Why can't I just use a standard model for this?"</p><p>— "Couldn't I build this myself?"</p><p>— "How are you actually going to bring this to market?"</p><p>Those objections aren't really about your tech. They're about trust — and trust is built, or lost, in how you show up..</p><p><strong>Inside the Clinic</strong></p><p><strong>Pre-Clinic Deck Review.</strong> Send your slides ahead of time, and Jennifer will personally mark where dense science is losing the investor's brain — before the session even starts.</p><p><strong>Your First 60 Seconds.</strong> Rebuild your opening minute so it turns complex science into commercial stakes and earns attention immediately.</p><p><strong>Presence and Authority.</strong> A pitch is a performance. With an MFA in theatre and two decades coaching the neuroscience of how people read authority and trust, Jennifer helps you align your words, voice, and body — so you project conviction even when your nerves are screaming.</p><p><strong>Q&amp;A Under Fire. </strong>The frameworks to meet hard technical, clinical, and regulatory questions with calm authority instead of getting rattled.</p><p><strong>What founders say:</strong></p><p><em>"Do it! It's the non-content stuff that matters and sets you apart."</em> — Eduardo Betancourt, Fortia</p><p><em>"A great, different, self-aware approach to pitching." </em>— Imbar Meidani, Improov University</p><p><em>"A pitch is a performance!"</em> — health-tech founder</p><p>Click to hear from an international founder who took the clinic at NY Tech Week: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7477375368555847681/">https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7477375368555847681/</a></p><p><strong>Two Ways to Join The Clinic</strong></p><p><strong>Clinic</strong> — $95 early-bird / $125 regular.

Prices exclude the service fee. `buyable now` is a boolean, not a count —
remaining stock is the organizer's information and is not published; create
a checkout session to find out whether a given quantity fits.

## Registration questions

| question id | question | type | required | answerable | options |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `8gqxul9hbo5jskkodwnank` | What is your company's website? | text | no | yes | — |
| `uzdb50g5ye4s4jjod97lc` | Please describe your startup. What are you building? | text | yes | yes | — |

Send these back as `attendee_answers` (`{ question_id, value }`). A missing
required answer keeps a checkout session unpayable. `dropdown` and
`multipleChoice` answers must match one of the listed options exactly.

The response `totals` is the authoritative price — it includes the service
fee, which is not in the table above and depends on the cart and the
organizer's fee settings. Never compute a total from this document.
