Every Mistake Proves to be Disastrous!

Your pitch deck exemplifies the "unique story" of your startup, it isn't supposed to be a mere copy + paste job on a Pitch Deck template. Often, we see that despite having a great product, great team and even few paying customers, it's these coarse pitch decks, which make the startups un-fundable forever!

​So, what should be in a Compelling Pitch Deck?

A compelling Pitch Deck exhibits the "Unique Story of Your Startup" and covers the below aspects:

1. The Purpose: Describe the purpose or vision of your venture in 1 (preferred) or max. 2 declarative sentences. Use a compelling picture that kinda relates to it! E.g. for my venture Jasaro it's "Our Mission is to Empower 500 Seed Stage Startups, Achieve their Annual Recurring Revenues of  $1M by 2026!". Some investors prefer fulfilling an "need" and "want" of the target audience.

2. Problem: Accurately describe the key pain (not 2 or 3) of your target customer (or segment). This needs to really painful and BIG, something that the investors can relate to or easily understand. But, most importantly why the existing solutions are just inadequate in resolving this or are too costly to implement.

3. Solution:

provides clarity to your business, has no gaps between the content and your vision, and it highlights the aspects that the investors want to see in every investment opportunity!
