Turn Your Business Story into a Compelling Funding Pitch

When you’re seeking funding, you need to explain what your business does, why it matters, and what support would help you accomplish. This interactive, 60-minute workshop helps startup founders and small business owners communicate that story through clear, credible marketing materials.

We’ll explore the purpose and core content of several materials:
  • Pitch decks: Present your business, the opportunity, your progress, and your funding request through a concise slide presentation.
  • Capability statements: Summarize your services, strengths, relevant experience, and ability to deliver.
  • Business one-pagers: Give readers a clear overview they can quickly understand and share.
  • Grant and funding narratives: Explain your business goals, the proposed use of funding, and the results you intend to achieve.
  • Outreach emails: Introduce your business and make a clear request for a conversation or next step.
Across these formats, you’ll learn how to explain their business to an unfamiliar reader, select evidence that supports their claims, and tailor their message to a particular opportunity. Examples will address both early-stage businesses building a track record and established businesses drawing on customer results, completed projects, partnerships, and community impact.

We’ll also explore how AI tools can help organize, draft, and refine these materials while preserving accuracy and the business’s own voice. You’ll learn how to build your business story from the ground up and adapt it for pitch decks, capability statements, and other funding materials. You don’t need any existing materials to get started.

Arturo Natella is the Founder of Amaru, a Boston-based firm specializing in AI, ML, and quantum technology recruiting, and career coaching for professionals across industries.

People are expected to know how to navigate the process, and most are figuring it out alone. His path here ran through technology and workforce policy at the Massachusetts State Legislature. A certified Performance-Based Hiring practitioner, he has coached more than 400 professionals through job searches and career transitions. Amaru has been recognized by DAIMLAS (Massachusetts AI Ecosystem).
