It is one of the most important steps for getting a new venture off the ground. The pitch deck (also known as an investor deck) is the first communication tool used to provide your audience with a quick overview of your business plan and to help you raise money with a potential investor. The content of the pitch deck, along with your presentation, can help the investor to determine whether or not to continue evaluating your business opportunity.Raising capital from investors can be challenging and time-consuming. Therefore, it is always crucial that a startup absolutely nails its investor pitch deck and convey in a manner that shows your “business story” in an engaging and fascinating, yet informative way. In another word, your pitch deck has to articulate a compelling and interesting story.A good pitch deck must:1) tells a compelling story that follows a logical sequence;2) shows strong business model validation from experiments and research data;3) has a clear ask at the end that is justified by thorough research.At the end of the workshop, learners should be able to:1) Identify the key components making up an effective pitch deck;2) Define the structure and create content for a pitch deck;3) Develop the presentation style and design the pitch deck;4) Creates emotional impact while making the business case.This workshop is suitable for entrepreneurs who wish to create/improve their pitch decks to be effective and efficient in securing investors' interests.Trainer's Profile:Steven is the MD for an angel investment company and a coworking space operator.
