“My executive assistant is a professional wrestler… I love the fact that the people in our company have [other] interests,” shares CEO Everette Taylor on Kickstarter's four-day workweek. Our careers can feel all-consuming, but Taylor argues pursuing other passions is beneficial for the workplace too. “We have musicians, we have artists, we have filmmakers, we have entrepreneurs. They're having these very unique experiences and they’re bringing those unique perspectives back into the space, and they have something to live for outside of the work.” Kickstarter’s 4-day workweek helps make this possible for their employees, something Taylor encourages others to adopt.

After two decades in the banking sector, Luke Bailey saw a need to update how financial wellness was approached, and the idea for NEON MONEY CLUB was born. Bailey and co-founder Jackie Liao approached hundreds of investors with their unique lifestyle financial platform, implementing “a basic 12-slide pitch deck that most folks are told to use.” They kept striking out. Read on to find out how throwing out the traditional template and crafting a more authentic and creative pitch got them millions from investors and a partnership with American Express.

How do you sell a non-traditional idea to traditional investors? Luke Bailey co-founded NEON MONEY CLUB with Jackie Liao three years ago. The fintech startup, with its innovative approach to investing and financial wellness, has attracted millions from venture capitalists and a partnership with American Express. But there was a time, Bailey says, when they weren’t sure they could get the company off the ground. Using a traditional template to pitch the business to “hundreds of investors” they kept hearing “no.” Only after realizing that they needed to pitch their unique business idea in an equally unique and authentic way, did Neon Money Club land the big investor who had turned them down twice before. More soon followed. Bailey offers this advice from the experience: “If you’re a founder looking to fundraise in this tough environment, don’t just follow the template. Our unique insight wasn’t just what we knew financially — we realized it was us and how we do things. The way we were successful in our careers is by not just telling people what it’s going to be but showing them… Because investors invest in founders not companies.” Do you have a story about successfully pitching an idea in a unique way?   Share it with us in the comments!

💡 Have you heard of “work resorts?” Companies are leasing or designing “hotelified” offices with an eye to luring employees back from remote work (https://lnkd.in/dipbKGJ6). These new spaces are being dubbed “work resorts” and are meant to not only compete with the comforts of home but to offer more in the way of inspiration. “Hotelification” upgrades can include laptop bars, indoor market places, therapy spas, terraces or even scented air to name a few. For employers mandating a return to offices, this could be a “put your money where your mouth is” moment. 💼 Comment below: If your company “hotelified” your office, what amenities and comforts would you want to see added or upgraded?
