A Startup Story Where the Pitch Could Save-or End-It All
Mark is a startup founder with a big idea and an even bigger problem: He can’t pitch it to save his life. Literally.
In Fever Pitch, author and venture capitalist Ben Wiener delivers a sharp, witty, and unexpectedly high-stakes business fable about one entrepreneur’s race against time to fix his pitch presentation-or lose everything. Caught in a swirl of investor meetings, internal self-doubt, and increasingly bizarre events, Mark is sure of only one thing: His startup pitch almost works. But almost won’t cut it when the clock is ticking, the money’s drying up, and his startup’s survival depends on a single word-yes.
As Mark stumbles through a gauntlet of unexpected allies, sharp-edged venture capitalists, and surreal revelations, he uncovers the one thing every founder must have to win venture funding: H.E.A.R.T.
This story-driven business novel takes you inside the head of a founder under pressure, revealing:
The H.E.A.R.T. framework-the 5 essential elements of a pitch that mirrors how venture capitalists evaluate deals.
Real startup struggles like entrepreneur stress, setbacks, how to overcome failure, and how to set up your startup for pitch success.
The mindset shift founders must make to win investor trust.
What actually happens when your pitch deck sounds smart-but not investable.
A storytelling blueprint that mirrors how real investors think.
Whether you’re a founder or a startup employee, or you’re just curious about what really makes or breaks a company’s big ask, Fever Pitch delivers the intensity of a thriller with the insight of a pitch coach.
Join the adventure and fund your startup by getting to the H.E.A.R.T. of your perfect pitch deck. $0.99 on Kindle.
