Make an outstanding pitch deck.
A pitch deck is a presentation document that you create to share your story with investors. It summarises what you’re building, why you’re building it and also why you and your team are the best people to do this.
Or that’s what a pitch deck should be…
But generally few issues pop up:
1 - Some founders are still mapping out their idea.
“How can I sum up my business already in just a few sentences?”
“How much money should I ask for?”
2 - It’s overwhelming. Each slide generates more questions than it does answers.
“How can I predict revenue in year 3 if I don’t even have a product?”
“Is my market big enough?
“What’s the difference between the solution slide and the product slide?
3 - And often when founders get to work on their pitch deck, they are knee deep in the weeds of their business.
“It’s clear in my head, but I’m struggling to get the message across!”
And that’s all completely normal.
Investors have been working with pitch decks for decades. It’s their day job. It’s not yours.
Most founders try to wing it through trial and error. They don’t get any answers. They get ghosted. They don’t get any feedback. And they give up…
But making a pitch deck and raising funds is not magic. It’s a skill like Google Ads or Excel. It’s a very useful business tool that you can just learn.
So I’ve created 3 resources that should help you with this:
I’ve recorded 57 videos that will take you through all the different slides that you need in your pitch deck. Each time explaining why you need the slide, and how you can make your version of it.
You’ll also find a very important workbook with follow along exercises, examples and templates to help you nail your pitch deck.
I really wish I had this when I was raising funds myself. It's like a cheatsheet to understand the mind of an investor.
I think you’ll find the course very useful to make a really good pitch deck but also to get ready for your fundraising journey.

When you try to do your pitch deck yourself, you quickly have doubts. You become unsure about at least 3 or 4 slides. And sometimes you even become unsure about which business path to follow.
But you still send your pitch deck to a few investors anyway. And you don’t really get much response or it’s quite vague.
So you start listening to feedback from friends and family (the worst), or individual angels… And you make changes. You rewrite and you rewrite. And you try again… and it fails.
Look, this can sometimes work. But I’ve created a live 40 min pitch deck review session on zoom that will save you so much time. We’ll go slide by slide together. I’ll explain what’s good, what’s bad and what’s missing.
The reviews for this service have been great, so I hope you’ll make the most of this too.
