Jenn Krentz
Executive Communication Coach for Tech Startups & Scaleups
Speak with Confidence. Pitch with Impact. Lead with Authority.
As a tech startup founder, your success hinges on your ability to communicate effectively—whether you’re pitching to investors, leading your team, or sharing your vision. I’m here to help you craft clear, confident, and persuasive communication that drives results.
Who I Help
I specialize in coaching tech founders and their teams from Pre-Seed to Series B across Latin America, Canada, and the USA.
With a background in theatre and over 18 years of experience in executive communication and cross-cultural coaching, I've empowered countless non-native English speakers to refine their messaging, break language barriers, and present confidently to investors, clients, and global teams.
My Coaching Approach
Running a company in English when it’s not your first language isn’t just a language challenge—it’s a leadership challenge. Whether you’re a non-native English speaker or a tech founder, you’re making high-stakes decisions, hiring top talent, fundraising, and driving business growth—all while questioning if your message resonates. Investors hesitate, buyers push back, and your team may not fully align with your vision.
That’s where my executive coaching and business communication coaching come in. I don’t just help you perfect your English—I work with you to ensure you’re understood, respected, and empowered to lead with confidence. My tailored coaching approach is designed to improve internal communication, enhance leadership skills, and boost overall business performance for non-native speakers in the startup and tech world.
How I Work
I pinpoint the habits holding you back. Whether it’s weak phrasing, overly complex explanations, or filler words that make you sound unsure, I’ll show you exactly what needs to change—so you can finally break those patterns for good.
I tell you what’s wrong—and how to fix it. If your team isn’t aligned, if an investor hesitates, if your message isn’t landing—I’ll show you why and help you adjust. No vague advice, no fluff. Just clear, direct feedback that makes an immediate difference.
We practice real situations. You don’t need more theory. You need to rehearse the exact conversations you have every day—investor pitches, sales calls, team meetings—so that when the moment comes, you’re ready.
I refine your delivery—down to the last detail. That means pronunciation, grammar, tone, pacing—everything that affects how people perceive you. The goal isn’t to sound perfect; it’s to be clear, compelling, and confident under pressure.
This isn’t traditional language coaching. It’s high-performance communication training for founders who need to lead, sell, and persuade in English—without it slowing them down.

What Kind of Leader Gets the Most from Working with Me?
If you’re wondering whether we’d be a good fit, here’s what I’ve noticed about the people who get the best results from working with me:
You take full ownership—sometimes too much. You don’t blame the market, the investors, or your team when things don’t go as planned. You take responsibility for how you communicate, how you lead, and how you grow the business. That mindset is powerful—until it leads to over-explaining, second-guessing, or apologizing when you don’t need to.
You’re a strong communicator—just not always in English. You already lead a company, raise capital, and manage a team, but doing it all in English adds extra pressure. Your English is B2-C1, so the challenge isn’t basic fluency—it’s navigating high-stakes conversations, giving clear direction, and handling tough investor questions without getting stuck.
You’re scaling, and you know communication is key. As your company grows, so do the demands on you as a leader. You’re hiring, fundraising, pitching, and making major decisions daily. You know that being able to communicate your vision—internally and externally—can make or break your company’s success.
You’re juggling a hundred things at once. Maybe you’re a technical founder who’d rather be in product than on sales calls. Maybe you’re a CEO balancing investor meetings, hiring, and strategy. Either way, you don’t have time for trial and error—you need to communicate clearly, get buy-in fast, and keep things moving.
You want direct, no-BS feedback. You don’t need sugarcoating. You want to know exactly where your message is landing, where it’s not, and what to do about it—whether that’s in a board meeting, a team all-hands, or an investor pitch.
You want a thought partner, not just a coach. Sometimes you need to talk through valuation strategy, a tough team conversation, or how to position yourself in a competitive market. You want someone who understands the startup world and can help you frame things in a way that gets results.
You follow through. The founders who get the best results don’t just show up to calls—they test new messaging, apply feedback, and come back with real-world insights so we can keep refining.
