In this episode, I have invited Ismail Eleburuike, CEO of SchoolTry, a founder who has pitched over 100 times, to dive deep into the often underestimated power of the pitch deck. Many founders see it as just a formality or a design exercise, but in reality, it’s one of the first times you clearly explain what your startup is all about.


Some of our takeaways:

  1. Keep your deck focused on value. If you lose your audience in slides that don’t matter, you lose the investment.
  2. The importance of continuous iterations in getting a good deck.
  3. Feedback from investors can help strip down jargon and focus on what matters.
