Startup Intervention

A NEW STARTUP VIDEO PODCAST

Real founders. Real challenges. Expert Insights.

Startup Intervention by The Pitch Media helps real founders solve real startup challenges in real time with the help of proven experts.

90% of Startups Fail

AI has lowered the barrier to startup creation.
But user engagement remains low and the startup failure rate is increasing.

ACCESS ≠ SUCCESS

Startup Intervention is looking to illuminate and help solve the gap

HOW IT WORKS

1. SUBMIT

Founders submit their biggest business challenge or opportunity for consideration.

2. MATCH

Select founders are paired with proven experts to diagnose their challenge or validate their opportunity.

3. TEST

The founders are given a test to help solve their challenge or capitalize on the opportunity.

Example Topics

Instead of another interview podcast, Startup Intervention tackles real startup challenges:

The startup that…needs capital but is striking out with traditional VCs.

The startup that…found initial customer traction but can’t reach product market fit.

The startup that…must pivot but is struggling to find the right problem to solve.

The startup that’s…growing but losing money because of an unsustainable business model.

The Format

Few shows highlight and diagnose problems in real time with actionable strategies. Startup Intervention chages this with:

Real founders

Real challenges

Diagnoses by credible experts

“Will it work?” implementation intrigue

And a founder follow-up finale that shares real founder outcomes
