Founder Coaching
& Deal Acceleration Program
- Founder Services
At The Startup Club we give founders a rare stage — but the real opportunity is what happens before and after the conference. A high-touch, results-driven partnership that turns conference momentum into real capital.

— About Kate
"I believe founders deserve more than a stage — they deserve a system."
Kate Boyer is a Budapest-born, first-generation immigrant entrepreneur who spent 18 years as CEO of Anatomie, the world leader in designer travel wear and pioneer of the athleisure trend — building it into a disruptive omnichannel brand recognized by Forbes Travel Guide, INC. 5000, and IAB, and earning her a spot among Florida's Top 50 Women Business Leaders since 2018. She has gone on to co-found La Leyenda, the world's first luxury sipping mezcal club, and Rosi Dreams, a female-owned travel beauty brand, and now serves as a Strategic Advisor to USFTI and STS Capital, helping founders achieve extraordinary exits.
Kate is our Club's dedicated Mentor, Coach & Advisor, guiding founders through the full arc of a raise: from pitch preparation to investor follow-up and deal close. This is not a one-day engagement — it is a structured partnership built around each founder's stage, coaching them 1-1 or in small groups across two phases.
— The Program
Two phases. One continuous system.
Phase 1 · Pre-Conference
Pitch Preparation
Each participating founder receives structured coaching across three focus areas.
Story & positioning
Sharpen the narrative, clarify the problem, and articulate the "why now" compellingly.
Pitch mechanics
Refine the deck, tighten the ask, and align financial projections with investor expectations.
Rehearsal & objection prep
Simulate Q&A, stress-test the business model, and build founder confidence under pressure.
Phase 2 · Post-Conference
Investor Follow-Up & Deal Close
The period immediately after a conference is where most deals are lost. Kate personally guides founders through:
Follow-up strategy
Prioritize leads, craft personalized outreach, and maintain investor interest without over-pitching.
Due diligence readiness
Prepare data rooms, anticipate investor questions, and present a clean, credible company profile.
Negotiation & close
​
Navigate term sheets, understand key deal terms, and move toward signed agreements with confidence.
Deepening investor trust, one founder at a time
This is the program that doesn't just showcase founders — it helps them close. It elevates the quality and confidence of every founder who takes the Startup Club stage.
