Startup Pitch Decks - Templates & De-Risking:
Startup pitches must tell engaging stories about a de-risked company. After reviewing hundreds of pitches and sitting through dozens of investment committee meetings, we know what motivates investors to invest. We invest our own money through Band of Angels - the oldest tech angel group in the US.
Since mid 2024 - in a tough funding environment - we've helped 100% of our active clients each raise multiple millions in startup funds.
Most startup pitch guides focus on the 10 or 12 "Key Slides You Need to Raise Investor Funds." But populating a generic template won't magically raise funds. You must learn how to show that you've mitigated the hundreds of risks that threaten every startup.
Unlike other guides that only offer catchy soundbites, our Pitch Deck Templates and De-Risking class addresses over 200 investor concerns to help you captivate the audience, validate the startup, and motivate investors to invest.
If it was easy, simple soundbites would work and most founders would raise funds. But if you're tired of pitching investors without results, then dive into the 300+ slides in this class to learn how to do it right!
