About this item

A Startup Story Where the Pitch Could Save—or End—It All Mark is a startup founder with a big idea and an even bigger problem: He can't pitch it to save his life. Literally. In Fever Pitch, author and venture capitalist Ben Wiener delivers a sharp, witty, and unexpectedly high-stakes business fable about one entrepreneur's race against time to fix his pitch presentation—or lose everything. Caught in a swirl of investor meetings, internal self-doubt, and increasingly bizarre events, Mark is sure of only one thing: His startup pitch almost works. But almost won't cut it when the clock is ticking, the money's drying up, and his startup's survival depends on a single word—yes. As Mark stumbles through a gauntlet of unexpected allies, sharp-edged venture capitalists, and surreal revelations, he uncovers the one thing every founder must have to win venture funding: H.E.A.R.T.
