One of the most powerful things that you can do in your email deck is to break the reader’s frame of reference. My favorite example of this is from the Allhers deck.
Pitching is storytelling, and decks are a tool to tell the story. The email deck gets to meeting, the pitch deck gets the investment.
My number one rule for pitching and pitch decks is: Don’t make me think. Don’t make me work. Here are six examples.
The point of your pitch deck isn’t to get an investment. The point is to get a meeting.
It’s just like when you’re job hunting. The point of a resume isn’t to get the job. The point of the resume is to get the interview. The pitch deck is serving the same purpose.
Founders, put your email in your pitch deck. Please. That is all.
