‘1 ESSENTIAL INSIGHT‘

Top Tip To Increase Pitch Deck Conversion

The number 1 tip to increase your pitch deck conversion… Narrative Headlines—the title that instantly tells your audience the point of each slide.

Done right, they eliminate guesswork and ensure investors grasp your vision – what you're building, why it matters, and the AMAZING opportunity it presents.

If you miss the mark, your deck might get ignored, or worse, leave investors confused about your startup's value or why they should care.

Narrative headline let investors skim your deck in 20 seconds or less. And with investors notorious poor on time—sometimes reviewing hundreds of decks a week—making it easy for them to skim, in just a few seconds, may be the difference between getting that meeting, or getting ghosted 👻.
