How One Founder Perfected Her Pitch
Jacky Lamenzo Sinha is the founder of Lemon House Publishing, a writing enrichment program that guides children through the entire process of writing a book, all the way to publishing and selling on Amazon. Sinha took an entrepreneurship course through Babson and had a major “a-ha” moment. “The day before the pitch, my classmate said, ‘So, your mock pitch tomorrow is for teachers?’ And, I thought, ‘Oh, of course! I don’t need to pitch the parents anymore!’”
