The One Percent Pitch

Words matter. Clear, concise copywriting is your best friend when creating your pitch deck. Clarity ensures your purpose and potential are quickly and effectively understood. Your deck will likely be screened by an associate; you have minutes to make an impression. Overloading your pitch with cluttered and confusing content will send your deck straight to the 'no' pile.

Your story should resonate with investors, making them believe in your journey, potential, and, more importantly, how you can make them a fantastic return. A compelling narrative, without any missing pieces, will transform your pitch from ordinary to extraordinary.

There seems to be a common thread on LinkedIn that early-stage fundraising is going to be even tougher this year than last. A handful startups I've been working with are stuck, which is potentially the case for many, with an MVP, a proven concept, and often small amount of traction, but not enough to secure an attractive term sheet. Many even have an offer, of sorts, but are having to bootstrap in a tough economic climate to get to the point where a deal seems fair. I know, before anyone comments, bootstrap as long as you can, but one size doesn't fit all. Sometimes founders need cash. In the past, founders would have been able to raise some pre-seed/seed capital by this stage in the journey, from angels or early-stage funds, and probably on half-decent terms. In the early-stage scene, it does seem like the venture has gone missing from Venture Capital. I’d love to hear people thoughts from both sides of the fence. #EarlyStageFundraising #StartupsStruggles #BootstrapOrBust #MissingVentureCapital
