Investor Pitch feedback, personal story - A few years back I was pitching to one of the large VC funds. One of the earliest pitches in my entrepreneurial journey. It was a virtual meeting. I had shared my screen & was taking everyone through my pitch deck. When I completed and looked at the screen, everyone was checking their phones. I felt bad, then. When I looked back however, the problem was me, not the investors. The story telling, the narrative etc was all over the place. The numbers didn't align with what I was saying. The result - we would like to stay in touch & see more xyz. As expected. Through the sessions that I do with founders over the weekends, it is these real world learnings that I intend to share so that a lot of first time founders don't make the same mistakes like I did. If you are looking to raise funds or are in the process, happy to spend sometime this weekend and give some feedback on your deck and process.

I remember when I got a chance to be in the room where a startup was pitching. Closed room conversations are brutal when you don't have your narrative and numbers in place. Investors hear pitches day in and out. Your pitch needs to be attention grabbing and noone nails it in the first go. It's an evolution.

An audience is never wrong. A couple of folks in the audience may be, not the whole unit. :)

Can feel it! + I think if investors understand the space quite well, even the ad-hoc pitches can lead to some direction, and smart guys can then tweak it during the call/meet.

Thanks for sharing Satya Vyas. I would say that the best pitch I had in my journey over the last two years was without a pitch deck. Perhaps we could try it this way and share the deck after the call.

Hii sir, As a new-gen start up founder who is looking forward for raising funds and building connection. It could be great for me if I can have your one weekend.
Humbly disagree, Satya Vyas. Your pitching might have been less than perfect but not paying attention is disrespecting your time and effort. Can never be normalized.
