FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the VC in Central asked when they could meet your co-founder? Imagine a startup pitch that wins on the StartmeupHK stage and a meeting version that survives diligence. Even if your unit economics still make you nervous, you can still pitch with conviction. It's like packing one suitcase that works for both the beach and the board meeting.

20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
The $7M+ came from deals he closed himself, so your investor pitch is built to win the next meeting, not applause.
He was coaching basketball at 16, and founders train the same way: run the pitch, take feedback, run it again.
The method has produced 8-figure results for its graduates. Two of their stories are on this page.
They include Marshall Thurber and Joel Bauer. The full list is in his story below.
P.I.T.C.H. puts traction, story and ask in the order investors decide, so diligence questions don't derail you.
One step per session, rehearsed on your real investor pitch, so you can see the progress as you go.
You work on the pitch for your next investor meeting, so it is ready when it counts.
The investor pitch coaching method, applied for Hong Kong rooms.
Fundraising follows the rules of selling. You learn how investors decide and build the pitch around it.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits applied to a stage pitch and a meeting pitch.
You rehearse diligence questions and the valuation conversation until your answers hold steady.
The full programme sits on our investor pitch coaching page. Pitching customers and partners rather than investors? See presentation coaching in Hong Kong.
“My pitch is still zero. It’s last night’s version, which Jason said is wrong.”
“Then, when it came to my turn—in that one minute pitch in the chambers—it went out.”
Stanley Tan, Fund Manager, Skystone Asset Management. Programmes attended: Speed of Yes, 1Pitch™ Persuasion System, Diamond Consult.
“We are very impressed with your presentation and your in depth knowledge on how we can position ourselves to have customers focused marketing.”
Kris Ang, Master Franchisee, Signarama Singapore.

At 29, Jason Lim was appointed by Summit Capital and began an Asia speaking tour: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Bangkok, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In 2018, the Freedom Asia tour put him on stage, teaching founders how to close. He had once dreaded rooms like those.
After entering sales at 21, he went on to close over $7 million in deals. He is the founder of Future of Selling, under DreaMaker Ventures, and the creator of P.I.T.C.H. At 16, he had already started coaching, with basketball. He learned his craft from renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. His clients include Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio.
A five-minute competition cut stretched into an hour does not work.
Investors still cannot see why now, or why this team.
A shaky answer on unit economics undoes a strong opening.
Time buyers spend with suppliers
17%
When B2B buyers are considering a purchase, they spend only 17% of that time meeting with potential suppliers. When they compare several suppliers, the time with any one sales rep may be only 5% to 6%.
Most buyers prefer independent digital research, and only 17% of their buying time goes to meeting suppliers. A weak investor pitch wastes what you get.
Investors pass after the first meeting, and the next intro comes in colder.
You stretch the competition pitch into an hour and watch the partner lose interest.
The raise takes over nights and weekends, and family plans wait for the next term sheet.
The runway shortens, and every remaining investor meeting matters more than the last.
Many founders use one deck for every room. A five-minute stage pitch stretched into a partner meeting leaves gaps that diligence finds quickly. It's like wearing running shoes to a black-tie dinner because they worked at the marathon.
Every investor meeting is scarce. A pitch that is clear in the room earns the follow-up.
Investors want to know whether you fit their thesis. Answer that early and the rest of the meeting works for you.
