Light Point Ventures

Hi, I’m Martijn …

As a founder, I know how often strong ideas lose momentum because the message does not land. You may understand the opportunity, the market, and the value you are creating, yet still miss support because the story is too broad, too technical, or not concrete enough. What I would have wanted is not generic communication advice, but sharp feedback on the actual ask: what is unclear, where the proof is weak, and how to make the message more convincing.

That is the thinking behind Convince Clinic. It is built to help people communicate with more clarity, structure, and credibility when the stakes are real — whether they are pitching, fundraising, interviewing, or trying to get buy-in for an important idea.

How we got started

Why I have become convinced that pitching is a life skill

Entrepreneur

As an entrepreneur, I learned that good ideas do not speak for themselves. You have to make the problem clear, the opportunity tangible, and the next step easy to say yes to. Convincing starts with clarity, not complexity.

Advisor & Board member

As an advisor and board member, I learned to look past polished slides and focus on substance. What matters is whether the case is structured, the assumptions are credible, and the message builds enough trust for others to commit.

Venture Capitalist

As a venture capitalist, I learned how quickly people decide whether they believe a founder. A strong pitch is not just informative; it shows judgment, sharp thinking, and why this matters now. Conviction comes from clarity, proof, and focus.
