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.

Founder/Market Fit: Your Startup’s Early-Stage Advantage
Stop guessing about “Founder–Market Fit.” In this episode I break down how investors spot it at the pre-seed stage— and what to do if you don’t have it yet.
When founders enter a market they’ve never lived, credibility gaps, weak insight, and scarce access can stall everything from customer discovery to fundraising. I’ll show you:
• What “Founder–Market Fit” really means and why VCs look for it before they fund
• Clear warning signs you don’t have it (yet)
• Practical moves to build or borrow the fit you need
• How great FMF accelerates product-market fit, hiring, partnerships, and Series A readiness
Whether you’re raising your first round or refining your pitch, use these ideas to turn experience into a strategic edge.
