Most investors spend only 1-3 minutes looking at a pitch deck. So how can you make sure that your pitch deck stands out amongst the crowd?
It all begins with a great startup story when delivering your pitch. It isn’t just a marketing tool: your company’s startup story is—your mission, your goals, the problems you’re here to solve. It’s a powerful resource that will help you find and build connections with the people who will help your startup grow, from the right investors to stellar team members, co-founders, advisors, and customers.
