The 6 Startup Pitches Every Founder Needs
Most founders only create one pitch deck, and it costs them investors.
In this video, I’ll show you the six pitches every startup founder needs to win funding. From your 3-minute competition pitch to your self-guided deck for investors to read on their own, each version has a specific purpose. Skip one, and you risk losing the deal.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why different contexts demand different pitches
✅ The right length and structure for each type of pitch
✅ How to avoid the common mistake of using the wrong deck at the wrong time
✅ How to build a self-guided deck that actually gets read
By the end, you’ll know exactly how to tailor your message whether you’re on stage, in a meeting, or in an investor’s inbox.
