“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

Valentine Osakwe, Peep Connect

It’s my first newsletter here in 2025, and given everything happening in the United States, I wasn’t sure where to begin.
Already, we’ve seen billionaires and corporations bowing to a new regime and the disappearance of diversity-related initiatives, while immigrants worry about what their futures hold.
Yet, while the conversation around DEI has taken a 180, the fact remains: economies flourish when diverse perspectives and experiences are at the table. I truly believe that amid the turmoil, there’s still so much we can do to shape a more equitable and innovative future.
Earlier this week, I posted on LinkedIn about the fact that, for the first time in 20 years, no women will lead House committees because Republicans have elected 17 white men as committee chairs. My goal was to highlight the importance of representation and encourage everyone to advocate in their own communities.
Initially, the post drew engagement mainly from my first-level connections. After a busy day of meetings, I returned to find 125 comments.
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.
