One of the best parts of pitch deck work is seeing a founder come back for the next round.
I once calculated that ~16% of the startups I worked with successfully raised.
So when a client comes back for Seed or Series A, that always means a lot.
“We’re raising $1-2M” is one of those lines that makes a pitch deck feel unready immediately.
That’s a $1M difference.
If you’re fundraising, you should know the number, what it pays for, and what milestone it gets you to.
Otherwise the problem isn’t the deck. It’s the plan.
Going to write here more about fundraising, pitch decks, and the mistakes I see founders repeat.
First one: a deck is not there to explain your entire business. It should make an investor understand quickly why this matters, why now, and why you.
Everything else is support.
“Btw, the pitch deck is great. I already raised ~$500k.”
That’s a message we got from a founder just a few months after working together.
Almost every second investor loved the deck - and it gave him confidence to raise.

This deck helped raise a $2.5M round.
Today, we’re giving you a rare look behind the scenes of a real pitch deck that successfully secured funding. 👇

The biggest mistake I see in early-stage pitch decks?
Founders try to cover everything - and end up sounding like everyone else.
Highlight what makes you unforgettable.
That’s what investors remember.💡

“Pitch decks are easy, right?”
This week I reviewed 10+ decks from founders - and saw the same mistakes again and again.
Let’s fix that. 👇

How many slides do you really need to raise capital?
Since 2017, I’ve helped startups pitch to investors - and the “10-slide rule” still sparks debate. 👇

@heysatya_ There is still huge amount of clients and budgets on these platforms. Freelancers are using AI tools and/or delegate bidding. Speed and credibility become super important.
