Life's a pitch and you need to nail this skill for basically everything you do in life, says Bryony Cooper.
Her life story is both unusual and impressive: She stepped up to the mic early as a professional singer, which gave her the communications skills and stage presence to successfully pitch her first tech startup.
After building several startups, she became a VC and currently is the Managing Partner at Arkley Brinc VC.
In her experience, pitching and communications are superpowers that founders need to master. Rather than just focusing on the financial aspects of building businesses, Bryony is on mission to help early-stage startup founders to navigate the many challenges that come with building and growing a business.
Bryony's love for singing never vanished. She is now the lead singer of BC & the VCs, a Berlin-based band comprised of tech investors and founders including Christoph Raethke and Julius Bachmann.
