This topic comes up over and over again.  And it’s an essential part of fundraising. Storytelling. It’s one of the most powerful tools you can use! I love coaching VCs and founders of their portfolio companies as they constantly listen to pitches and craft their own. But what sets the successful ones apart? It's not just the numbers and value proposition — it’s the delivery of the message and the confidence behind the presentation I’ve coached both VCs and Founders on how to be more effective and engaging in their communication. The most amazing thing has been watching them all start achieving their goals: More confidence, more engagement, and more funds! Through Group Workshops and 1-1 training, I love diving into all the aspects of storytelling. 🎤 Craft a Winning Narrative: You have a lot to say and little time to do it. By transforming complex ideas into clear, compelling stories, you can grab attention and briefly explain your mission and vision. 🗣️ Master Your Delivery: Stage Presence isn’t just something actors have. You need to speak with confidence, clarity, and conviction. That’s storytelling! It’s not just the words on the page, but what you DO with the message. 📊 Engage with Impact: You’ve heard the expression “A picture is worth 1,000 words.” Using pictures and visual aids are an effective way to reinforce your message and keep your audience engaged. But don’t rely on that! It’s the background; you are the star! 🔑 Improve Q&A with Ease: Once the pitch is over, your work doesn’t stop. Storytelling techniques can navigate challenging questions and provide insightful answers that showcase your expertise. Lean into the questions, and learn to be flexible. Learning how to think quickly can help you remain confident and connected. I'm so grateful to have collaborated with Koi Ventures, 10x Founders, Picus Capital, Altitude Ventures, and ROI VENTURES. #fundraising #investment #pitching #publicspeakingcoach

Crafting a pitch is like directing a movie Slides are like scenes of a movie ↳ Taking audience from scene to scene ↳ Adding life, color, emotion and meaning ↳ Aligning messaging with intention Create your deck like a movie director  ↳ Combine slides and messages into a ↳ Coherent investment narrative  ↳ That connects with invesotrs Unfortunately many pitches don’t do it. One of the issues that stands out to me Is that the individual slides don’t align. Just like scenes that don’t make sense. The slides don’t flow. When I look at slides in pitch decks I classify them into 4 types: 1️⃣ Insightful Slides Complex Structure + Inv. Insight ↳ Intriguing yet confusing,  ↳ Rich in insights but complex ↳ Require patience to decode 2️⃣ Imaginative Confusing Structure + Lack of Insight  ↳ Creative and full of ideas  ↳ Labyrinths with no narrative  ↳ Lack of connection to main subject 3️⃣ Informative: Coherent Structure + Lack of Insight ↳ Clear, concise, and well-structured ↳ Easy to follow but lack insight ↳ Can become forgettable fast 4️⃣ Investment: Clear Presentation + Actionable Narrative ↳ Guide the audience to a conclusion ↳ Leave a lasting impression ↳ Compelling in nature Pitch isn’t about sharing information it's about crafting an engaging story that excites and persuades. Find your style and mix of slides. But make sure your deck is An investment deck worth reading. ---- 🤝 Hi, I am Marek and I post about ↳ investor #storytelling ↳ for #startups, #founders & #funds 🔔 Follow me for more insights 🤝 Connect if you like my content 🙌 Interested in crafting a powerful Investor story that makes money move your way?

The Perfect Pitch Deck Template Original Content Creator: Chris Tottman (give him a follow) ------ Only 1% of pitch decks secure venture capital—why? The difference lies in details you might be overlooking. Discover the must-have slides that make investors say 'yes' (according to Sequoia Capital): Here's how it works: 1. Define your company's purpose with clarity. 2. Address the problem with insight. 3. Present your solution as a beacon of hope. 4. Time it right; why now, not later? 5. Map out the market; show your understanding and potential. 6. Outshine competitors by highlighting your edge. 7. Detail your product like the masterpiece it is. 8. Explain your business model; make it compelling and clear. 9. Showcase your team; the architects of your vision. This isn't just about numbers or graphs. It's about creating a narrative that makes investors feel at home with your vision. Every slide, every figure, every graph should tell a part of your story. From understanding the problem to presenting a game-changing solution. Start with why. End with how. ____________________ Original Content Creator: Chris Tottman (give him a follow)
