And the thing about Donna is that she really, truly, deeply gets that, and she miraculously sees right through to you. So she’s able to take what’s been working in storytelling and what’s been working for you in your specific story and then just create the best version…
But in many cases, you won’t even have a chance to open the laptop. And many decision makers that are going to either invest in you, work with you, or collaborate with you won’t even see the presentation at all, but they are going to listen to you speak. So your story must become a part of you.
So it’s not a two hour session to build some slides or write a script if it’s a discovery process for you, for your partners and co workers and everyone involved. And it’s for that journey and that talent and the personality behind that talent that you should work with Donna.
We had a great experience with Donna. Our fear that she wouldn’t understand what we were doing and manage to write us a pitch in two hours, thoroughly faded away in the first few minutes we saw her work speed. I have never seen someone who writes so fast…
and at the same time having an open conversation and deep thinking. She clarified a lot of things for us and I highly recommend it. Yuval, CEO and co-founder of Moneytor
And working with Donna is actually a journey because it’s not about the presentation. It’s never about the presentation. And rest assured, you will have this great presentation with the right visuals, because they are very valuable to sending the message.
Donna totally delivered when it came to building a pitch deck for my company, Poppins. In just two hours, she was able to clearly and effectively tell our biz story, which seriously upgraded our pitch game…
Not only was Donna a master of storytelling and at the same time having an open conversation and deep thinking. She clarified a lot of things for us and I highly recommend it. Yuval, CEO and co-founder of Moneytor
And working with Donna is actually a journey because it’s not about the presentation. It’s never about the presentation. And rest assured, you will have this great presentation with the right visuals, because they are very valuable to sending the message.
If you need a great pitch, Donna is the person to go to. The process is very simple. She starts by interviewing you in order to understand the main essence of your brand, the story behind your brand and then the real magic happens. She transfers everything in her head…
and turns it all at once into a great pitch and a great presentation. So Donna, we have one word to say, wow!
I truly have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for Donna, especially after working with her. I think some of the highest praise that I can give is that she is an incredible story teller, easily the best storyteller I’ve ever met.
I think she could sell anyone pretty much anything, but that talent that she has is absolutely infectious in the sense that working with her will make you a better and more natural storyteller as well. I’ve never been more confident that we’re putting the company’s best foot forward then after going through her process and implementing it into my presentation strategy.
I know as a start-up founder everyone is always worried about how time-intensive something is going to be. I was very impressed with how efficient and effective Donna was throughout the entire process. I was honestly shocked how much our pitch was able to progress in just a couple of hour-long sessions.
I’d also love to stress that Donna isn’t just a consultant, she’s really an advocate for the companies that she works with.
We spent a couple of hours crafting our core story and the main messages of our company together with Donna. Donna has the incredible ability to understand the company’s unique points and products and shortly after, she comes up with a range of phrases…
and paragraphs that really pinpoint the most important points about the company story and products.
What we really loved about working with Donna was the timeframe – within short two sessions, we had it done and this enabled us to move ahead with our missions, goals, and target while messaging the right story to our audience.
I’ve known Donna for many, many years. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her several times in the past and every single time she delivers. It’s just been amazing to work with her and having the confidence to know that I have Donna on my side…
every time that I want to create a pitch deck, tell a story, get up on stage and give a presentation.
The last time I had a chance to work with Donna was in my current role with Sizer. When I told the team that I wanted to bring her in for a storytelling session they thought I was crazy. Why do we need to bring someone from the outside? We’re already a company that knows what we’re doing. But then when we actually had the session, we realized that we do not, and they were just blown away, overwhelmed and they really sincerely thanked me for bringing Donna on board, and I’m sure that our fundraising will be much, much more successful due to the session with Donna. If you’re considering working with Donna, stop considering just do it!
I worked with Donna on the pitch deck story for Round B that was successfully closed raising $30m recently. Donna was able to grasp our company’s story right away and provided valuable insight to improve our pitch deck. Her assistance is highly recommended!
I have worked with Donna on my Pitch Deck. She is a professional at the highest level! She is creative, precise, and provides her clients with the best pitch decks. Her unique and vast experience is highly noticeable and the results speak for themselves.
Highly recommended!!!
The best value for money you can wish for, in the early stage of the fundraising journey.
Besides helping us create a killer pitch deck, Donna was able to provide us with a much valuable gift – Confidence & Certainty. If you ever created a deck, you must know how frustrating it can be not knowing if what you have created so far is in the right direction with the right…
amount of slides, in the right order, and most importantly if your story is told in the best way it can be told. All these questions marks go away after 2 hours with Donna. The best decision we made. You would not regret it 😉
Many recommendations had been said about Donna, and I agree with all of them, but I want to focus not just on the phenomenal expert she is but also on the person she is. We had a meeting with Donna under fire. Literally. All over the meeting, we (in Israel) had sirens…
so each one of us had to take a break at a different time to go to the shelter. Donna was so empathic to the situation, took the time that we needed to focus again, and gave us the confidence that our work together would be done. No matter what. She is just great!
I think the best proof for good service, one that really gives value, is a service you go back to when you need it.
This was my experience with Donna, when I need someone to sharpen the narrative of my story, to arrange my thoughts, ideas in a manner that my clients, investors
and myself even, have a clearer understanding.
Donna is my address.
Let me start off by saying Donna is amazing at what she does. She wastes zero time; thus, 100% of your spend is on an actual deliverable. Be prepared – she jumps right in and the end result is as good as it gets…better actually. I was told by several investors…
that our deck was a “master class” in deck writing. That’s Donna – masterful at what she does. It was truly a pleasure working with her.
I worked with Donna when I was Fundraising for 2 different companies. Each company was in Life Sciences, not trivial to understand the nuances, but Donna got it right away. In a matter of a couple of ours we had a winning deck that raised several million each time.
Not only is she fast, she’s super precise and very pleasant to work with. I have no doubt that I will work with Donna with my next company as well!
As the program manager of a startup accelerator, I’ve worked with many pitch coaches in the past, but Donna is in a league of her own. We brought Donna in to lead a 1.5 hour long virtual pitch coaching session for 20 companies, and she was able to transform their…
pitching/storytelling abilities in ways that would have taken us weeks in just one session! What I was most impressed with was Donna’s ability to truly LISTEN to the startup founders and find the most impactful and palatable ways for them to tell their stories to investors. Our startups could not stop talking about Donna’s session and rated it as #1 overall out of the entire program! I would highly recommend Donna to any accelerator looking to take their pitch-coaching session to the next level.
I was fortunate to meet Donna and work with her on our investor pitch. She is one of those rare ‘roll your sleeves’ storytellers who can help startup founders bring clarity to their idea and products was amazing and…
it helped me in understanding, why should investors and customers care about our platform and the value we bring to the marketplace.
If you need an objective view in building a clear story driven pitch, that simply works ! please do yourself a favour and talk to her.
When you look up “force of nature”, Donna’s name is the definition. Donna takes the time to understand who you are, she listens and asks plenty of questions until she feels she thoroughly understands YOU.
I had the most amazing experience working with Donna in identifying my personal and professional branding. In the time it would have taken me to define myself on paper, Donna was able to capture & summarize in a heartbeat. There is no doubt that Donna has a talent very few offer and I would absolutely work with her again and again.
Donna is the first story-teller I worked with. She is very talented and has vast knowledge. I believe that every entrepreneur must have a simple, structured and compelling story, so whenever I meet one, I refer him to Donna.
Her ability to extract and summarize complex technologies, products, KPIs etc. is amazing.
Donna wrote our very first one pager and investor deck – and in the past 4 years, several million dollars later, she’s still our go-to person for every crucial piece of our messaging – from investor decks to marketing materials and even internal docs for stakeholders.
Donna has the ability to understand your business and immediately provide the right narrative for it. This is a skill I haven’t come across in anyone else! In 1.5 hours we get more written than on our own in weeks! She can move from document to document, pitch to pitch with dexterity and creativity without missing a beat!
Whoa!!! Wow…uh…what can I say about Donna but AMAZING!!!
She took 7 slides of jumbled junk and sat us down and said “tell me about yourselves”…and like a magician of mojo, she found ours and put it into words. Smooth, clear, easy, hell I’d post it here but then you’ll all steal it!! 🙂
Really, Donna was perfect. All the stress, worry, pain…poof…gone. Saved me a month of work and worry. I probably owe you more money Donna.
On a personal level Donna is ALWAYS well mannered (which one should never give for granted). She is completely straight forward, speaks her mind and you can always trust what she says (again something one should never give for granted)
In a nutshell, Donna truly wants start-ups to thrive and loves things well done.
In my view Donna is a great solution for tech start-ups and larger companies alike and by taking her as a consultant you WILL definitely see a difference pre and post having worked with her.
I warmly recommend her and look forward in working with Donna in the future.
During Jan/2011 I co-organized an event for Israel Startup Network. The event was called Pitch Fest with Blumberg Capital. Practically speaking, it was a competition between over 60 technology start-up companies.
I thought that providing our finalists with an added value such as presentation-coaching, could do good for both the event and the presenters. I chose Donna for that purpose, which has proven itself to be the perfect choice.
Donna has coached 13 out of the 16 finalists. By the end of the sessions, each one of the presenters received a video-recording of their presentation with constructive criticism and feedback.
Donna created significant improvement not only in the finalists’ quality of presentation but also in their understanding of their own business’ strengths!
Donna was a great partner to work with. She is professional, bright, flexible, accommodating and personable.
I could not miss how Donna cared to make a difference. Even though the coaching sessions were fairly short, the improvements were clearly noticeable, which is backed by the feedback I received from the finalists themselves.
I’m looking forward to working with Donna in the future.
I was privileged to take Donna Abraham’s Writing for Action and Presenting for Action courses.
Applying the principles I learned drew the praise of leaders in the technical writing profession in Israel.
Donna’s flair and energy help transmit her message effectively and enjoyably.
As a communications professional who is a veteran of high-quality writing and presentation courses, I can unhesitatingly recommend Donna as simply the best.
Donna is a fountain of knowledge, creativity and professionalism. It’s almost like a super power how Donna translates an idea/ strategy/ concept into a captivating, coherent story and message. Donna’s methods are practical, efficient, flexible and also lots of fun. She’s as good as it gets.
Donna is absolutely fantastic! We have been working with Donna within week programs in Silicon Valley for Executive MBA of Moscow school of management SKOLKOVO. She is great in transforming 180 degrees your skills…
The students leave the workshop with pure brilliant feeling what and how they should do. Donna is unique, energetic, engaging and super professional. She knows exactly what you need to succeed. And I strongly recommend her workshops for big and small businesses, corporate people, start-uppers and serial entrepreneurs.
My startup was struggling to capture investors. I decided to contact Donna. After a few hours work on my deck the startup presentation became clearer, the selling arguments were evident, the problem/solution was well enhanced. Result: we have now a VC investing in Adshir.com Thanks Donna, great job!
Donna is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Her knowledge of pitch decks and storytelling combines for an utmost distillation in information for investors. The outline of what she presents…
and just from a simple phone call with Donna and some follow up we were able to refine our deck to a point that many investors and other entrepreneurs immediately offered to pass our deck along to their contacts. As someone who raised capital before and has constructed a few pitch decks, I can attest to the fact that she brings a different perspective, edge, & insight to the table that the entrepreneur generally doesn’t see.
I HIGHLY recommend Donna’s methodology for pitch/sales decks and believe that whether first-time or experienced entrepreneurs, her services will prove to be invaluable!
Donna is great! I found her process and approach particularly great for helping to streamline the story-telling especially when there is lots to say that can get in the way of a tight and compelling story. I highly recommend her!
I worked with Donna a couple of times during different periods of the company’s life cycle and I really had an amazing experience. And in both cases, I saw two things that are worth highlighting: One is, Donna prepared and when I needed advice, it came…
quickly and it was very, very clear.
Donna was able to reflect to us a world that we just couldn’t see when we looked at our story from our point of view and she was able to see it in a much simpler way from taking into account, her view of so many other companies and investors and bring all of that together into a very concise feedback that cannot be a misunderstood. And this allowed us very quickly to reevaluate, improve our presentation and go back to the market with a much more precise and clear message.
Donna just gets the story right away and is able to tweak it in such a way that pretty much anybody that takes a look at the deck or or goes into the site will understand it, regardless of how much they understand about the business itself. I was shocked…
at the beginning to believe that she could get it done in such a short period of time. With just one call going through the deck once, she came back with a phenomenal finished product. I strongly recommend anybody that is thinking about using her services to go ahead and do it. It was again a very pleasant surprise and an extraordinary finished product.
Donna with her magnificent abilities to pinpoint the exact idea for the precise place inside the process, navigated to the amazing business plan and presentation we so proudly present these days to investors.
“I always hesitate before I engage with a consultant because what we’re doing is complex and it’s difficult to understand. Donna has a particular skill, listening skill, that is really extraordinary, and she has this intelligence that couples…
the listening with the understanding of what the other side wants to hear – if it’s investors or if it’s customers – she can pick out from what you tell her what the other side needs to hear, what’s interesting and meaningful and motivating for them. And that is incredibly valuable. Since my two sessions with Donna, I know that my pitch is way more persuasive, and I also know that nothing happens overnight. And so my expectations are reasonable, but I feel much more confident, much more clear, and I can shape the pitch depending on the time and the people that I’m speaking to. I attribute so much of this to Donna’s insights, and it made a significant difference for me, and I’m really grateful.”
I recently enlisted the help of Donna to refine the company’s pitch in preparation for meetings with potential investors. Donna immediately impressed me with her learning ability, creativity, and professionalism. She is…
very goal-oriented and helped me sharpen the message using clever, simple words.
It sounds easy, but it requires diverse abilities – Donna has plenty of them and with her many years of experience, the process of working with her is simple and efficient.
Donna is a true professional! She really is the real thing, and her ability to refine ideas and turn them into a clear and comprehensive investor deck is really something extraordinary and admirable. I wholeheartedly recommend leaving…
the job to the pros and contacting Donna as an integral part of the raising capital. It pays off big time!
Working with Donna, wow, I’ve heard so much about her work so my expectations were very high in the first place. And still, she managed to blow me away. She helped us to build the perfect presentation for Armoursense, presentations…
that profoundly expresses the essence of our vision and product. Thank you so much Donna.
I had the pleasure of working with Donna on my company’s pitch deck and story and I enjoyed the process very much. I learned a lot from Donna’s experience, unique perspective and knowledge. And there is no doubt that…
telling your story right makes a huge difference. So thank you so much, Donna, and I can’t wait to work with you again soon.
The process with Donna was amazing. She is really a genius. She knew exactly what I should say, how we need to say it when we say it. We tried for a long time to have the perfect storytelling, but with Donna it was breathtaking! Really she knows, she’s really a genius.
We had the pleasure to work with Donna on our pitch deck. And I have to say we had an excellent, positive experience. Donna came in and in no time, she turned our pitch deck to a winning pitch deck, creating a great story…
around it. Highly recommended, excellent quality, high speed of delivery for the project and a very pleasant person to work with.
Hey Donna, what a pleasure. I think that one thing that stands out that we at PSyber, trying to wrap our heads around, the most effective page how to condense and make everything in order and concise, and you within an hour managed…
to sprinkle the Donna dust all over our pitch deck and help us put our thoughts in order and shape the way we deliver the message about PSyber.
Grateful and looking forward to working with you in the future
We needed an investor deck that reflects our technology side, which is very new and under development, and with Donna’s assistance, I was in shock. I was so surprised how she did unbelievable, amazing work as she was sitting with us, and within two hours…
we received an amazing investment deck. We were very, very pleased. I’m totally in.
Donna masterfully synthesizes pitches to quickly and eloquently deliver a cohesive message. Her presentation to our portfolio of founders was valuable and engaging to all.
The Grand Master of storytelling – analyzing the company in a very accurate way and in short time, and then directing how to present it correctly.
You may have the greatest company in your field, therefore…
you must learn how to convey this message correctly in a frenzy world.
Having recently started a new company, Donna was a real god sent in helping me get my pitch deck together. Her insight was invaluable in getting my message/story across to my potential investors. Donna truly has a gift to tell a story. It was by…
chance that our paths crossed, but I can’t imagine anyone else better at her job. Besides her being an absolute joy to work with she is quick and to the point and gets the job done quickly and efficiently. I would recommend her and her abilities to my best friends that’s how confident I am in her. If opportunities arise in the future Donna will be my first call! Contact her you won’t be disappointed.
Donna is a visionary storytelling mastermind. She knows creating and articulating a bold vision is core to any success. She was generously patient and candid in her guidance. Her speed and acute pulse on what is important cannot be overlooked. Run, don’t walk, to her for guidance!
Wow! We are SOOO impressed with Donna’s creativity! We were hesitant at first to go with Donna because we are at the beginning phase of a start up and were concerned that in two hours we could not convey our message to Donna and…
have her come up with an awesome pitch but we decided to go for it and were pleasantly surprised.
Donna rose to the challenge and produced an amazing pitch, content and copywriting WITHIN an hour and a half and we are a, very thanksful for it, and b, extremely happy with the result.
Donna rocks!

Donna Griffit is the BeST.
I used Donna’s services more than once.
Donna is like a chef. She can take ingredients everyone has access to, but be that special person that combines them into a delicious meal.
I’m not very strong with…
metaphors (one of the reasons I hired Donna), but you get the picture.
People underestimate the importance of great storytelling. It is crucial to your business success, and it’s not trivial at all to get it right. Donna helps you frame your business and your goals, and take all the thoughts in your head, the numbers in your flies, the research in your drive, and turn them into a coherent, clear, and compelling story. That’s rare. Donna is rare. Use her. She’s an amazing resource.
Donna is the best of the best. The script and presentation are put together on the spot so there is no going back and forth with revision after revision. Donna, listens and immediately gets a grasp of your business to tell your story and articulate it in a way that…
you just wouldn’t have dreamed of doing yourself. In the case of Critterpedia, she understood perfectly the stage we were at and knew exactly what was required. Subsequently, we nailed our pitch and a few weeks on and we are working with the CSIRO! We’ll be going to Donna for each and every future stage of our start-up journey!
I turned to Donna for help at the very early days of DeepCoding when I really needed guidance on how to put together a strong pitch.. The time schedule was very tight and Donna was always there for me – no matter what and the results were great! I highly…

I have known Donna for years so when I needed a secrete super power in pitching, I knew who to call. Her ability to tell a story is unparalleled. She helped me pull together my first (and winning) pitch in just a few hours and have the confidence to tell Versatile Natures’…
story and lead others to action. I was able to learn so much from working with her that I hope I am now making her proud 😊. I could not have taken the first steps without her and would recommend any startup founder needing to tell their story to give her a call. Thank You Donna!e.
Donna is the Word Fairy! Once you tell her your story, she would use her magic and turn it into an interesting and exciting story that anyone would want to hear.

She leads an interactive workshop called “The X Factor”, which helps it’s participants to create/polish….
their personal elevator pitch and A’s the question: “Tell me about yourself”.
Like the magician she is, the participants, one by one, share their own personal elevator pitch and within seconds, Donna spices the story up and creates a magical story ( Even without using a magical wand) that makes any interviewers- captivated by the stories and eager to learn more. She does it all with a smile!
I highly recommend using Donna’s services for a winning pitch!

Even though Donna doesn’t have a background in our field, she “got” our messages very fast. She knew how to refine them into clear, powerful texts that improved our presentation immeasurably! This was all done in a very…

Dear Dona Griffit
Thank you for helping improve and upgrade my presentation to a level people both engage and become clients at the end of the presentation (instead of, I need to think about it and the such). What a great difference a…
one-time meeting with you made. You are a true professional! You know what people are looking for, and you knew how to incorporate it in a subject which is not typical or easy to sell. From the first slide, all the way to the last, you provided alterations, options, ideas and tools that were backed by your vast experience and knowledge.
During an hour meeting you were able to teach me, seemingly, easy tools to get clients – all which worked like magic. Moreover, you introduced me to the very talented graphic designer Roni Yahel, who gathered your ideas and tips, and was able to bring forth my message in a most accurate and professional manner. And she got it in the first take. Again, the topic I deal with, was not an easy one to convey … until I met you.
Anyone who is looking for a talented, professional and creative corporate story teller, would be lucky to be your client. .
You managed
Kudos!!
Donna helped me prepare for our first financing round in the US. She did a great work of refining and sharpening the message, and was very fast and practical. She also engaged me to a graphic designer she is working closely with, and the result was an…
exceptional presentation, content and structure wise, that supported well our fundraising process. We were very happy with the result so we re-engaged with Donna to build our sales deck, which we continue to use with minor updates since. I warmly recommend working with Donna on building investor, sales, or any other type of presentations.
Donna is a Wizard, a magician that can turn any idea into a story, into something that resonates, inspires with a touch of “wow” in the few right places that will catch attention. She brings processes into the way any company needs to build and articulate a message. All done in…
a fun, creative environment.
But there is more… While building the messages, Donna adds so much value in the words she is using, in the questions she is asking that not only she can help build a presentation for any audience, but the outcome and discussion brings so much more, so many new ideas and angles to think about.
Very glad I worked with Donna and cannot recommend her enough.
When I first heard about Donna I had many doubts, no way a regular person can understand our entire product and write a good investors presentation in just two hours when we spent months, but as entrepreneur you take risks and so I did. And it was amazing, Donna is…
not a regular story teller she is a prodigy in her field, in just couple of hours she was able to fully understand our product, needs and difficulties and transform them into a slik and focused deck. (There is a Dark Vader effect – but I’ll let you find out by yourself)
Donna is a great talent! She has the ability to filter the noise, in a very short time and to extract the precise and most valuable words and sentences, in order to create a masterpiece pitch and presentation!
Ever since we first met I have witnessed Donna’s eternal enthusiasm and endless support. Donna is professional and devoted to the job she does, and with her guidance we were able to create our deck for the prestige SVOD competition . Donna is creative, open-minded marketing…
wizard who knows the magic of combining Old School marketing basis with the new media and by doing so created a story that was true and authentic to us as entrepreneurs and to our startup company . It is thanks to donna and the long days and nights she worked with us that we were able to stand with our head up high and tell our company’s story on stage in-front of hundreds of people and investors in a funny, professional and authentic way.

When we in forCauz approached Donna, it was after a zillion versions of our pitch, we were on the verge of a mental and emotional breakdown, and it was like meeting Santa for the first time and getting a bag full of presents. Donna to me, is like a hurricane of wisdom in the art of…
story telling. It is not every day that you get to work with someone that within the space of two meetings can work his or her magic.
With Donna, you get way more than you bargained for… She knows the startup industry inside and out – the people, the expectations, industry standards – she can advise on way more than just the pitch and story! Once she gets your idea and concept (which she get super fast!)she doesn’t…
need anything else, she takes it from there and gives you exactly what you need to elevate your messaging and the materials you get will be super professional. She also helped with things that were not necessarily expected like funding connections and relocation. Working with Donna was without a doubt a great investment – and we can thank her for her contribution to the investment we received!

questions – 10 min digesting information and thinking – 50 min creating a new deck, new packaging and teaching me how to spill everything out in 15 min. OMG – she is gifted, creative and smart. The only thing I wish is to meet her 1 year earlier so she could save us from all helpless attempts to present our idea. Thank you Donna.

non-technical investors and decision makers.
I had been struggling with an Executive Summary and Pitch-Deck for my 2nd startup and decided to reach out to Donna for help. I am so glad that I did.
In just a couple of hours, Donna had crafted an incredibly powerful and clear story around the opportunity and investment merits for my startup. We used Google Docs and its collaboration features, so as I spoke my technical mumbo jumbo, Donna would write the clearest, and most compelling interpretation of what I was sharing – in real-time! She was like a geek-to-investor Babble Fish!
My ultimate test was to share the Executive Summary with my non-techy wife. For the first time, she fully understood what my startup does and said that she could now explain to her friends what I actually do for a living.
I look forward to working with Donna on future projects and highly recommend her consulting services. You will not be disappointed. 10 stars!
