Laura Brennan, Pitch Consultant and Author, YC ’88

Laura’s eclectic career includes almost every storytelling medium, from theater, television, and film to web series, short stories, and video games. Her children’s picture book, Nana Speaks Nanese, tackles the confusing changes brought on by memory loss in a reassuring and straightforward way. It’s the book she wishes she’d had when her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and she hopes it will help other families with young children. As a pitch consultant, Laura has helped everyone from film producers and TV executives to entrepreneurs, non-profits, and job-seekers talk about themselves and their projects. Networking is her superpower.
