DePitch Academy Reviews 7

A pitch is a vital, key component, perhaps the single most important piece you can have for communication effectively with key individuals. DePitch has experience crafting these, and is a very valuable personalized insight to where your flaws may be and how to improve them, something unvaluable!

We won 1st place in Colosseum’s Gaming track and got accepted into the accelerator after DePitch coaching! The coaching session is very thorough, it helped me smoothen the flow of the pitch. I would definitely recommend anyone working on a pitch to at least jump a session once with DePitch Academy!

It provides top-notch pitching review and feedback for builders who think themselves are not ready for IR pitchings.
Sofian is great man and great mentor for your pitches
i can assure you, 100% recommended!!

We had an amazing experience working with DePitch Academy in preparation for the Solana Breakpoint Hackathon. Their 1-on-1 pitch training was incredibly valuable — fast responses, super detailed feedback, and most importantly, actionable advice that helped us improve our pitch significantly in a short time.

One of the most useful aspects was how they helped us clarify our core narrative and sharpen our delivery. They really understood the nuances of pitching in a Web3 context and gave us honest, constructive feedback that made a real difference. After applying their suggestions, our pitch became more concise, compelling, and tailored for the right audience.

I got what’s missing in my pitch and why it matters. Great coaching with Sofian!

How was the overall pitch training experience?
The experience with DePitch was absolutely transformative. I originally joined the KAIKA team as an engineer, but I was suddenly tasked with delivering our pitch for the Colosseum hackathon. I had no experience pitching on such a big stage and honestly couldn't tell what was right or wrong. Sofian from DePitch carefully and clearly gave me the standard for judgment I was missing, which led to massive improvements. What impressed me most personally was that despite his incredibly busy schedule (he had to fly from Japan to Korea), he came to meet us in person for a direct mentoring session right before his departure. That day was, without a doubt, the day I grew the most.

What were the most useful things you learned?
I learned the critical skill of how to make our pitch stand out among hundreds of other submissions. I understood the need to create a powerful "hook" and then weave our vision into a compelling story, almost like a picture book. Sofian genuinely helped us think through this process and taught us how to connect the different parts of our presentation seamlessly.

Any concrete improvements you noticed in your pitch?
Everything improved dramatically. Initially, our design was a simple white text on a black background. Through his mentorship, we added our logo, key visuals, videos, and improved the App's UI/UX. We also struggled with how to explain the market opportunity for our new haptic technology, as no market exists yet. With Sofian's guidance, we made the bold strategic decision to remove that section entirely, which turned out to be a key to our success. The pitch was transformed into something lean, smooth, thoughtful, and incredibly impactful.

Would you recommend it to other founders or builders?
Absolutely, without any hesitation. I can say with certainty that I wouldn't have come this far without the DePitch program. Meeting Sofian and being a part of this program has been the greatest stroke of luck in my journey so far. I recommend it to any builder who has a great idea but needs help turning it into a story that the world wants to invest in.

DePitch helped me win the Solana Colosseum Radar hackathon in 2024. I started my deck with a very classic pitch and Sofian helped me transform it into a sales weapon. Can't recommend them enough!
