A Keynote, Mentor, and Demo-Day Judge Who's Built the Real Thing
Marc D. Alexander runs his own accelerator, so he knows exactly what your cohort is going through — book him to keynote, mentor, or judge your demo day.
Keynotes from $10,000· Panels from $5,000· Based in Michigan, available nationwide
What your cohort is wrestling with
Impostor syndrome at intake
Brilliant founders quietly doubt they belong. The right opening keynote resets that on day one.
The mid-program wall
Week three or four, the energy dips and doubt creeps in. Cohorts need a voice who's actually been through it.
Pitches that don't land
Strong companies, weak storytelling. Demo day lives or dies on a narrative your founders haven't mastered yet.
The right voice for Incubators & Accelerators
Marc directs the 2026 IPO Business Accelerator — six weeks from due diligence to demo day — so he's not theorizing about your program, he's running one. He mentors founders through market fit and the perfect pitch, and he's coached and judged on pitch stages from Kiwanis to Black Tech Saturdays.
