With so many options to choose from, real estate investors are regarded as "easiest to find, most difficult to close". If you want your pitch to stand out, you've got to generate credibility, trust and a professional connection - within the space of an 8-minute pitch.
Luckily, Unicorn's here to help. Because we've pitched hundreds of investors and (unlike others) actually raised capital for both publicly-listed and private companies, we know how to get a deal across the table in a way that's concise, clear and effective.
