The Pitch it Plan™ program, community, and advising empowers founders to create an investor-ready pitch deck in a few days.
“As a Black man pitching a deep-tech hardware solution I experienced so many no's that I was considering giving up. Going through PiP and getting your direct feedback on how I was communicating to investors changed my entire pitch and gave me confidence.”
Marc Ward, Socian Technologies
"Within 4-6 weeks of completing PiP, I closed my Angel round and I've never felt more confident in my narrative and pitch."
Jess Lynch, Wishroute
"I liked the honest feedback and how in-depth we went into understanding segments, competitive markets, and areas of focus. Every underrepresented founder should use this!"
Topaz Smith, EN-NOBLE
“I closed my lead investor 2 days after sending my pitch video."
Mati Amin, Lit Learning
"Early-stage founders trying to build a pitch deck you need to subscribe. It's worth every single sweat."
Valentine Osakwe, Peep Connect
“I think your platform is brilliant! I actually feel more comfortable sending a video link rather than a downloadable deck.”
Toyosi Babalola, Abulé

We believe it's not a pipeline problem, but rather a connection problem.
Scroobious solves this problem. Angel and early-stage investors can discover and connect with overlooked founders in a discreet and scalable way.
Effortlessly find and contact founders you want to put your money behind in an easy, fun, and efficient way.
11/25/2024: More than ever, we need to see - and treat - both ourselves and the people we encounter in our daily lives with humanity, empathy, and understanding. Try to connect with each other on a personal level, starting from a place of curiosity. The key is that you have to actually try to connect first before deciding, judging, or alienating.
I built this community of founders, investors, and service providers on this principle. It’s a big part of why Scroobious - both as a community and a business - continues to grow. While we still have so much opportunity to capture, I’m incredibly proud that a business model grounded in authenticity and equitable treatment for all really works.
We've got a BIG product announcement this month!
With nearly 1,000 founders having used our platform, we started getting requests on the daily asking for service provider recommendations across functions like accounting, graphic design, development, legal, recruiting, marketing, and more. Investors looking to support their portfolio companies also began asking us for recommendations.
The reason so many people turn to us and our community is because we're a trusted name, and it can be incredibly challenging and costly to find the right partners to help grow a business. So many of us have been burned by services that weren't quite what we needed, or providers who didn't understand our journey. We place enormous value on the word of a fellow founder who has actually worked with a provider and had a positive experience.
Earlier this week, I had the privilege of attending my first Clinton Global Initiative Summit. It lived up to all the expectations: inspiring, welcoming, informative, and energetic. We even had a surprise visit from President Joe Biden!
This year's theme, "What's Working," focused on identifying, highlighting, accelerating, and scaling what's succeeding rather than dwelling on what's not. Many of the panels are available on demand, and I highly recommend watching them.
