## About EchoPitch

EchoPitch is an AI-powered presentation coaching platform that helps people overcome presentation anxiety and improve public speaking skills. Built by Cavefish in the UK.

## Founder Story

EchoPitch was founded by Jon Prescott, who spent 10 years training presentation skills at companies like M&S, Barclays, and Lloyds before building this AI tool.

The journey started during Jon's MBA at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), where his dissertation researched the ineffectiveness of business presentations. After watching dozens of companies present poorly to MBA cohorts, he developed a storytelling model based on narrative psychology.

That model helped his cohort achieve top marks in presentations. He then taught the following year's cohort, which led to a corporate training business spanning a decade. The consistent insight: smart people fail at presenting not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack practice with feedback.

EchoPitch exists to make that practice accessible — bringing 15 years of presentation expertise to anyone, anytime, at a fraction of what corporate training costs.
