Pitch Coaching & Deck Design
Develop A PITCH That Can’t Be Ignored
Every founder has a story. And great stories build credibility where it counts: on stage, in investor meetings, and at pitch competitions. Our coaching sessions help founders sharpen their storytelling for a clear, confident pitch.
CUSTOMER DISCOVERY & Journey Mapping
Define your customers & win them over
Knowing your customer is the key to strong relationships. Our customer discovery process is grounded in design thinking, so founders can uncover real customer needs and create a trust-building blueprint for every interaction.
BRAND STRATEGY & POSITIONING
Build a Brand That Opens Doors
Sell the promise, not just the product. We help founders develop brand strategy and positioning that evolves with their business. Our compelling brands reflect their vision, clarify their value, and earn credibility from the start.
CASE STUDIES
YOUR PROGRAM. OUR EXPERTISE.
Every innovation program is unique. Your sessions should be too. We shape our workshops and lectures to fit your incubator or accelerator to best suit your founders.
SEAAHEAD’s BLUESWELL PROGRAM
Launching Bluetech startups to inspire change.
For past five years, we’ve partnered with SeaAhead to build their Blueswell and Gulfblue Navigator programs to launch ocean startups. We worked with founders to build a strong foundation with strategic branding, customer journey mapping, and pitch coaching.
“We love working with Giant Shoulders, they just get what we need, seeming to know what we need before we know what it is.”
Alissa Peterson, SeaAhead Co-founder & Executive Director

“All of Giant Shoulders’ mentors were top notch. The startups and JETRO were excited about the content and sessions. We were also grateful for their feedback and input to help refine the structure of our program.”
