Elevator Pitch
Founder & CEO at AyrFlo
As a first-time founder with a physician-scientist background, I struggled to succinctly convey the unit economics of my problem in a pitch deck and articulate a compelling value proposition. I was looking for a coach who could approach this challenge not from a purely scientific lens but with a focus on sales, storytelling, and clear messaging. I needed someone who was curious enough to ask the right questions, empathetic to the challenging journey every founder faces, and skilled at distilling complex ideas into a simple, powerful message. Malcolm embodied all of these qualities and more.
Malcolm’s depth of engagement was remarkable. He dove into the subject matter with genuine interest, revisited key points repeatedly to fill in gaps, and was incredibly open and responsive to my feedback. Health care is tough, med-tech is tough, and pitching is tough. But working with Malcolm made the process feel significantly more manageable.

I clicked 'leave' in the Zoom call, and the next words to come out of my mouth were holy sh%$#! Malcolm stands apart in a world of surface-level consultations. What was scheduled as a 30-minute call turned into a 90-minute deep dive, driven by genuine curiosity and incisive questions. His rare combination of brutal honesty and sincere empathy struck me immediately. Rather than pushing services, Malcolm focused entirely on helping me find the right path forward. His candid feedback was challenging but demonstrated an authentic commitment to others' success – proof that true expertise is about lifting others up.

My one-hour pitch deck review with Malcolm Lewis gave me just what I needed to get my new deck in shape. It's incredibly valuable to have an expert honestly and candidly point out the weak points in your pitch - the things you simply can't see because you're too close it. I would highly recommend Malcolm to any founder who wants to increase their odds of raising investment.

Malcolm jumped right in and quickly re-worked our seed round pitch deck to make it much shorter and sharper. He is a wizard at cutting through the clutter, figuring out what you are trying to say in plain English and then reframing it for maximum impact. It can feel overwhelming to pull together all the moving parts in a deck that catches a VC's attention, but his knowledge and expertise put you at ease - you feel like you have the cheat code to a successful outcome. Highly recommended!
