SUMMARY:From Rejected to Funded: Startup Pitch Deck Secrets
DESCRIPTION:In this event\, you’ll learn why 99% of startup pitch decks fail & how you can join the 1% of founders whose decks raise startup capital.\nLess than 1% of pitch decks lead to startup fundraising rounds.\nMany founders know the fundraising odds are stacked against them\, but they don’t know how to create a pitch deck that maximizes their startup’s chances for fundraising success. \nOn June 26 at 10AM Pacific\, you’ll join Sam Wong to understand why the average founder’s approach to startup pitch decks and fundraising is completely broken. During the event\, you’ll learn what investors actually care about and the common pitch deck errors that kill investor interest. By the end of the event\, you’ll discover the keys to building an expert pitch deck so you can finally attract the startup capital your company needs. \nAbout the presenter:\nSam Wong has seen his fair share of pitch decks as a startup founder\, investor and advisor.\nNow\, he’s ready to share the insights that helped him generate 3 successful startup exits after his first two startups failed. He’ll also pull from his experiences as an investor with the Band of Angels and an advisor to clients that have generated over $270M in startup outcomes.\nIf you’re a founder struggling to raise capital for your startup\, this event was made for you! \nJoin Sam on June 26 at `10AM for Don’t Build An Amateur Pitch Deck.
