This third seminar in this series is focused on crafting a compelling investment story then developing the right pitch deck to communicate that story and the opportunity for investment.

There are thousands of articles and blog posts on the Internet with advice on “elevator pitches” and “outlines of pitch decks”, yet most entrepreneurs are ineffective in their first introduction and >90% of investment presentations are unclear. The most common reasons for these failures are an incomplete understanding of the investor audience and lack of precision on the things that matter most for these investors.

Join us as we guide you to:

1. Clarify Your Storytelling to Grab Attention
2. Support Investor Information Needs
3. Packaging This Information into a Pitch Deck

This webinar will explore the right messages to make the right impression with prospective investors.

The two major objective of this webinar are:

1. To trigger a “lightbulb moment” with prospective investors
2. Communicate clearly and concisely the key elements of your opportunity

Did you know that:

• Over 1000 pitch decks are created daily, just in Silicon Valley.
• The economy is causing investors to ask deeper questions on your opportunity.
• Investors now spend an average of fewer than 3 minutes viewing a full pitch deck according to Docusend.

Why You Should Attend:

• You will be more comfortable with introductory meetings with investors with the right story to open with
• Many entrepreneurs get highly skilled at pitching customers and forget that investors and lenders are very different than customers
• Once you get that opportunity to pitch, you want to make the right impression
• Gain insight into using a teaser summary to get interest in viewing the whole pitch deck

What You Will Leave With:

• Some useful formulas for crafting a memorable, clear and impactful story
• Learn what is different with the pitch outline at various stage
• Some links to useful pitch deck examples
• A mindset for telling a compelling story and not just listing facts
