About Rajiv 'Rajnation' Nathan

For nearly a decade, I've worked on one thing: STORY. I've told stories for startups, C-suite leadership, sales teams, as a TV broadcaster, as a rapper, and more.Across each of these verticals I realized the unconventional secret to nailing a pitch. And it's not 'convey the right metrics', 'showcase the TAM', 'make the features look great', or anything like that.The purpose of a great pitch is to make your audience feel SEEN.The more your audience feels seen, the more they will give you their time, trust, and want to do business with you.Because when they feel seen, it doesn't feel like you're pitching them. It feels like they're co-creating something with you.And when they're co-creating with you, they don't see you as the best...they see you as the ONLY.That's true if your audience is a venture capitalist, a customer on a demo call, a CPG consumer, someone watching you on TV, or even if your audience is a packed concert hall listening to your music.I've either helped people achieve this level of audience connection, or achieved it myself.Want to make sure your audience sees you and feels seen?My team and I at Startup Hypeman work with Visionary teams who want to develop THAT kind of a pitch.So they can: 🤑 Raise capital🤑 Improve their sales close rates🤑 Build a market-leading brand🤑 Create and dominate their categoryIt all starts with our signature Que PASA Elevator Pitch Formula™.The result?Scott from Wicked Reports raised $500k and said, "I didn't even know what the F*** to talk about...You got us away from being featurey so that our target audience could understand and want to buy from us."Shirley from Muses raised $1.25 million said, "Raj really has an innate ability to pull out the right concepts to develop into super clear messaging for 3 different audiences....he never hesitated to help us...Since working with Raj, our company has successfully raised $1.1 million."And then there's Monica and Marc at StoryFit who raised $5 million.There are countless sales reps who have crushed their quotas.There's Peter who successfully sold his company using our pitch.And so. many. more.It's not about just going to market...it's about being The GOAT to market.Because why be a unicorn when you can be The GOAT?Reach out for consulting, media, performance, and public speaking inquiries.Listen to my album, GOAT To Market, on all streaming platforms.

  • Startup Hypeman
    Founder & Chief Pitch Artist
    Startup Hypeman Aug 2016 - Present
    Chicago, Illinois, Us
    Don't be the best, be the ONLY.We help startups become the GOAT To Market by giving them the pitch that finally breaks through. We primarily work with 1) Founders of startups raising capital from pre-seed through Series A, and 2) CEO / CRO / CMO leadership and their sales teams at Series A+ startups.1)Founders raising capital are saying, "We SUCK at telling our story!"They've got this vision in their head, but when they pitch they're getting scratched heads, confused looks, and a "Huh? What does it do again?" or worse, a "Oh I get it, another [insert generic app here]."When the stakes are this high, you can't be another anyone. You've got to own being the ONLY you.Startup Hypeman helps dial in your pitch to go from confused looks to cashed checks. Our Pitch Artistry process has garnered everything from winning $25k in a competition, to $25 million in a Series A.Just ask startups like Eventnoire, StoryFit, Sigo Seguros, Science On Call, Cyber Pop-Up, and others how they've been Hyped.Head to startuphypeman.com to learn more and access our free Que PASA Elevator Pitch™ training video.2) Once a company exits founder-led sales and the sales team ramps up, there's an acceleration window to lead the category or create an entirely new category and hit the next valuation. Poorly run sales calls with 'guided tour' demos and no storytelling only leave them getting feature-shopped against competition where the winner is whoever can discount the most. We help leadership translate their vision into a scalable customer narrative that everyone on the team can deliver.We craft the pitch and sales motion that turns buyer decisions from feature and discount-focused, to aligning on point-of-view and recognizing your company's market expertise. Our Story Stack process has generated results like reps closing 200% of quota, increasing ACV, and even helping a company get acquired.

    When I left HelloWorld after 3.5 awesome years, several coworkers told me "the face of the company" was leaving. I was flattered by that anointment, and looking back, I believe they annointed me as such because I tried my best to give everyone a voice. Whether that was on the phone prospecting new clients, during new business pitches, at the office with my coworkers, or trying to come to a common middle ground with software engineers working on a tight timeline, what I prioritized above everything else was the people I had the honor of working alongside every day.
