”Think pitch decks are a breeze? So why is my phone crammed with a thousand apps? Coz most decks I see are selling their product, not the investment opportunity. Know your audience”

🧠🖼️ The right headspace, Storyboard it.

One of the hardest things about putting a pitch deck together is the amount of noise and the one-size-fits-all templates. Whilst they offer a practical structure, they also encourage us to shoehorn our information into neat little boxes. This really misses the essence of what is needed, the flow, and the authentic story. This creative technique, rather than a typical template, will help immerse you in the story and flow. These are not slides to fill in but a mindset framework before setting about writing your deck.


💡  This is what we do in a nutshell

❌  Because there is a great big Problem

✅  and we know how to solve it 😜

➡️   We built this

➡️   and these users love it, they are winning

➡️   which means we are winning and growing

➡️   and this we how we get paid for it

✅  We are a solid team with the right experience and mindset to execute

➡️  and it is the right time to expand and take advantage of what our users are telling us

➡️  the market is enormous

➡️  some others are playing in it, but our users say we are better

➡️  and we will get more users by doing this

✅  We need to raise this

➡️  to execute this

➡️  which will return this

✅  Thanks and let's talk
