FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
What if the regional fund asked for the data room before you reached the appendix? Imagine being the Jakarta founder whose investor pitch a partner can retell accurately. Even if the round is still taking shape, the local story needs a regional frame and the ask is still fuzzy, you still leave with a specific next step. It's like packing one folder that works for both the family office and the regional fund.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.
20+ years of coaching, starting with basketball at 16.
Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.
Our graduates have produced 8-figure results and beyond.
The $7M+ he closed himself is why a raise is judged on the next meeting. Investor work is built around how a fund actually decides, not around a polished story that never names the ask.
A basketball court was the first classroom; a raise now gets the same rehearsal. He created P.I.T.C.H. from live selling, so a Jakarta fundraising meeting is structured like a close, not like a showcase.
The 8-figure results come from graduates who used the same method in their own work. Read two of their stories below.
Names include Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor; 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 do not derail you.
A raise is rehearsed in the order a Jakarta partner decides: the ask, the use of funds, then the story, on the meeting already booked.
You work on the pitch for the investors you meet next, so the new version is tested where it counts.
This uses Investor Pitch Coaching on a Jakarta fund meeting.
Fundraising follows the rules of selling. You learn how investors decide and build the pitch around that order.
Power, Intent, Teach, Close and Habits applied to a meeting pitch that a partner can repeat to the rest of the fund.
You learn how investors decide in this market and shape the raise around that order, not around a feature list.
Founders who also want the file rewritten can add pitch deck coaching in Singapore. Around the Jakarta raise, the partner you will meet, and the date already booked. The raise, the partner, and the booked Jakarta date set the work. The sessions also cover a pitch presentation and a business pitch presentation for the same raise.
“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.
“Jason’s presentation technique worked like a charm. My clients responded exactly the way Jason predicted it would be with his unique languaging patterns.”
Leon Pang, CEO, Brainwise Franchisee, NeurocodeSG.

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.
You can explain the Jakarta business, but overseas or regional investors cannot yet see why it scales.
The amount, the use of funds and the milestone shift from meeting to meeting, so nobody can picture the round.
A simple question on unit economics or competition turns into a long defence, and the conviction leaks out.
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%.
17% of buying time goes to suppliers, so a Jakarta raise is judged on whether a partner can retell the ask, on your Jakarta fund meeting.
You collect polite interest and no data-room request, and the calendar fills with similar conversations.
The investor pitch deck grows, and the point gets harder to find.
Runway arithmetic sits in your head at night, and family time becomes a second spreadsheet.
The money you need takes longer than planned, and every remaining investor meeting matters more than the last.
Most investor pitches in this market explain the company in the founder's order, not in the order a fund decides. Traction, risk and the ask arrive late, so the meeting ends in interest rather than a next step. It's like giving someone a tour of the house and never telling them the price, the keys or the moving date.
