@MrKekeOfLagos 1. Only four players in NBA history to have won an NBA championship with three different teams.

2. They all won at least one championship in three different decades.

She left Harvard at 19 to build her startup.

Raised her first round: $1M.

Yet she still admits missing “just being a student.”

The part no one tells you:

You don’t just leave school.
You leave comfort.

She chose courage over comfort.

That’s why investors backed her.

"Our product will revolutionize the industry!"

This claim is made in 9 out of 10 startup pitches.

But here's the truth:

Products evolve.
Markets shift.
Strategies pivot.

What remains constant?

You. The founder.

You're not just pitching a product. You're pitching yourself.

@Aboss47 Let’s build a pitch deck for that!

[Yusuf, MBA @Up____Lift]

On a pitch call today, the founder casually mentioned $700k/year in revenue, halfway through.

I was still trying to figure out if it was even a real product.

Moral: Have traction? Say it early.

Nothing builds investor belief faster than customers + revenue.

How to raise Pre-Seed/Seed in 2026:

- Research & validate your idea
- Build & launch your product
- Gather feedback & iterate
- Scale & show real growth

No traction above? Don’t waste time pitching.

VCs stopped funding experiments in 2025.

Now they only fund for expansion.

@BostonByBirth Hey! I’d love to help you create a pitch deck for your donut restaurant idea.

[Yusuf, MBA @Up____Lift]

@milli_cent_ 😅👌

[Yusuf, MBA @Up____Lift]

When I started creating pitch decks,
I thought design was everything.

"Make it prettier and investors will love it."

I was wrong.

The prettiest deck I ever made
raised $0.

The ugliest deck I ever made
raised $2.3M.

The difference?

Story → Proof → Clarity → THEN design.

[Yusuf, MBA @Up____Lift]

A “stealth startup” just raised $5M.

No website. No pitch deck.

Just one sentence: “Ex-Google, building something big.”

Nothing gets funded faster than mystery + pedigree.
