🖼️🤫 The slides you’ll need, a teaser?
Love them or hate them they do serve a purpose. A teaser is designed to pique interest and secure a meeting with potential investors without overwhelming them with information. Giving just the right amount of information that secures a meeting is an art. A teaser is the amuse-bouche of pitching, it is the last thing you write and should be used for casual requests from unverified investors.
Thinking of the best ways to deliver this should be a really fun experience.
The Teaser.
Teasers can be seen as a waste of time and that is understandable; not everyone appreciates them. They can be seen as too vague or a needless step in the fundraising process.
However, they serve a strategic purpose in creating interest and leading to more substantive discussions.
Positives of using a teaser:
Conciseness: It conveys the core message quickly and invites further conversation.
Engagement: It's a hook that can intrigue investors to learn more.
Flexibility: It's useful for casual encounters where a full pitch isn't appropriate.
Focus: It forces the startup to distill their value proposition to its essence.
Efficiency: It can be a time-saver for both the startup and the investor, acting as a filter to gauge initial interest.
When to use a teaser:
Initial Contacts: When you're making first contact with potential investors.
Networking Events: At events where time is limited and you need to communicate quickly.
Follow-ups: As a follow-up to an initial conversation that warrants more details.
Online Pitches: When pitching through online platforms where attention spans are short.
