If you feel you have been underestimated when pitching your projects- you're probably right.

Bias is everywhere, and creative entrepreneurs face it constantly when trying to secure backing, investment, or partnerships for their work.

This live workshop is designed specifically for artists, theater-makers, filmmakers, and immersive creators who want to break through that bias and get the funding they need to bring their projects to life.

In this 60-minute live session, you'll learn how to:

✅ Navigate unconscious (and conscious) bias in fundraising conversations
✅ Build a compelling ask even if you feel "too early" or "too unconventional"
✅ Communicate your project’s value when others just don’t get it
✅ Shift the power dynamic and stand fully behind your work

🎙️ “If you’ve been told no, not yet, or not like that—this is for you.”

Yes, This Is Me
