TL;DR I create pitch decks for startups that want to raise a round. I go deep into the essence of the business and find advantages that will hook an investor
I know how to create presentations that attract investors. I know the underside of VC business, work as a growth mentor and help create pitch decks for startups.
My job is to find the strengths in each business that will attract the attention of an investor.
I don't teach drawing pretty slides and spectacular gestures, because that's useless in the world of venture capital. The main thing is the essence of business
The first consultation lasts for up to 1.5 hours, where I go into detail about the business, the features of the business model, what problem your bubiness can solve and, most important of all, why it is worth it.
Deep dive
step
From the all fragmented facts, I assemble a compelling story for the investor, and create a draft presentation with attention grabing content.
Storytelling
step
Based on the draft, the designer creates minimalistic slides that highlight key facts and figures. You can take the desing off your to-do list, as we'll take care of it all. No need to pay separately - the design is included in the price.

WHY DO PEOPLE PICK ME?
Know both sides
I have been in the shoes of investors more than once (Fort Ross Ventures, Admitad Invest) who selects presentations and listens to pitches at events. In most cases, the reaction is only one: «When will it end?» There's nothing more boring than watching great dreams alone without substance.
Old hand at pitches
Over the past four years, I've prepared more than 300 investor presentations for events including Slush, WebSummit and investor emails.
With my help, more than 50 pitch decks have succesfully raised (from seed to B-round).
Deep into industry
My main specialty is startup growth. I have a deep understanding of how startups work from the inside and what investors want to know, so I can highlight important metrics and details. But I cannot make a good case out of a business without real results. That is why I do not take on projects at the idea stage.
We deep dive into your business in detail, so I understand what strengths need to be emphasized.

I have several designers working with me who specialize in preparing startup pitch deck. We agreed a long time ago on how well and what is important. You can sleep well.
The standard price includes one iteration of edits. Once I receive the finished presentation, I accept edits and make changes, after which the work is considered complete.
We conclude a service contract, you can pay by card or transfer to the account of my EU based company via Stripe.
Except for serious experience with founders, I don't take on startups at the idea stage. For several reasons. Either the founder is inexperienced and idealistic. Either the founder can't create an MVP himself or herself. Either way, there is no real facture for such projects that investors and my conscience would like.
The number of slides depends on the presentation objectives. As a rule, 10-13 slides are enough for the first acquaintance with the investor. A more detailed introduction includes up to 19 slides. A 1-minute presentation is 4-5 slides. A 3 minute presentation - 10-14 slides. I determine the number of slides based on the tasks and collected material about the business. The price includes one version of the presentation (up to 15 slides). If you need several versions (for presentation and sending), the price will be slightly higher.
In my talks and webinars, I teach two things about presentation design - simplicity and clarity. The design will be normal, sufficient for 90% of the cases. If you really need a super design, we'll discuss it separately.
