In a unique, professional development workshop, Leeds MBA students learned how to harness public speaking techniques used by their favorite comedians.

In collaboration with Dr. Peter McGraw, Pitch Lab helped incorporate communication, creativity, and charisma lessons into CU’s already stellar Marketing Management course.

Working with Lizelle and Women Who Startup was one of the highlights of our year!

Not only did Toni Mays kickoff the workshop with a story about the importance of women in leadership, but we had the opportunity to share the stage with comedy great Nancy Norton!

It was so much fun learning from Nancy's 20+ years of stand-up comedy experience and hearing her amazing personal stories about comedy legends like Mitch Hedberg, Dane Cook and Ellen DeGeneres!

In this workshop hosted by General Assembly Denver, Pitch Lab helped a diverse group of professionals from DaVita, Monarch and Company & Ibotta learn how to be more confident, engaging storytellers.

Tim Shisler, founder of RackFocus, was on hand to share a decade worth of startup storytelling experience he's gained from working with organizations like Techstars, Denver Startup Week and TEDxBoulder.

Pitch Lab joined Moore for an afternoon to improve pitch delivery while intertwining interactive exercises to build new strengths for their customer facing team.

The workshop concluded with a few brave members of the MCG team being put to the test by presenting a humorous, fictional product pitch for 3D Cheese Printers!

On a somewhat standard Tuesday, a group of salesmen, entrepreneurs, and creative minds gathered at Thrive Workplace to learn about and practice public speaking.

What made this Tuesday special was Ben Kronberg from Comedy Central, Late Night with Seth Meyers & Jimmy Kimmel Live was on hand to break down stand-up comedy techniques the pros use on stage to help these Denver professionals be funnier, more engaging speakers at work.

2017 marked Denver Startup Week’s 6th birthday and a record breaking 18,900 registered attendees!

Pitch Lab was honored to be selected for two headline sessions during the week. These events were without a doubt, the highlight of our year.

Over 1,100 folks registered to see Pitch Lab's workshop and we had a blast helping Denver’s startup scene find its funny!

At Volume Nine, everyone joins in on a client pitch at some point, whether they’re leading the charge or there for support.

No matter our personal feelings about public speaking, everyone here at Volume Nine was excited to have Jay Mays, founder of Pitch Lab, stop by for an afternoon “beer-and-learn” talk recently.

You bring the pitch. We provide the stage.

In the same way a stand-up comic hits an open-mic, Pitch Lab is designed to help you clock the 10,000 hours of deliberate practice Malcolm Gladwell says make a master.

Whether you’re persuading a group of VCs, landing your next big client or preparing for an important speech, we all need practice to improve our pitch.
