There are several reasons why startup/business pitch decks need to be made of concise messages - a message like ' "Autonomous AI GPS car parking system" rather than "Unlock the power of GPS with a fully-fledged automatic car parking system powered by AI." First, people in the modern era don't have time for long messages; we read fast and look for fast-down statements. Second, concise messages display that you have actually thought about it and really know how to do it. In other words, when you know what you do, you cut the bull$hit. Third, it is good to have a marketing/sales co-founder, but the readers of your pitch are not potential clients - they are not your market - but your potential business partners. When you use concise messages, it means that the CEO/CMO are actually speaking with the CTO/engineers rather than being disconnected from them. #startups #sydney #tech #helsinki #advisery #startupnation #cto #cto_as_a_service #fractionalcto #deeptech #ai
