Most startups fail at presentations, not ideas. Here’s how you can fix that with my game-changing tips. Think about this: How do you capture attention? You start with emotion. 1] Compelling storytelling. Investors are human - they connect with stories, not just stats. Paint them as someone impacted by your problem, then show how your solution changes everything. Make them *feel* your pitch. 2] Show, don’t just tell. Words won’t sell alone. Bring your product or idea alive - whether that’s through prototypes, demos, or even sleek visuals. Let them see what they’re betting on. 3] Position your product. How do you stack up against competitors? Make your edge crystal clear. Investors love knowing why your solution is uniquely positioned for success. 4] Back your claims with data. TAM, SAM, SOM, know them inside out. Numbers tell your story’s backbone, so research thoroughly and present them confidently. 5] Simplify your revenue model. Investors fund what grows. Show them how you’ll make money - clearly and simply. Bonus points if you can highlight multiple revenue streams. 6] Skip “Thank You” slides. End with an “Ask” slide, it’s professional, sharp, and shows you mean business. Remember, investors don’t just invest money, they invest trust. Build that trust with your presentation. What’s your go-to move for nailing investor presentations? Let’s learn from each other. 🚀

Faiz, I am in deep trouble! It started like this, on an evening a client of mine contacted me with urgency saying “I am in trouble. We have an event in 48 hours and I need a pitch deck and a product video for our fintech product!, with so many potential investors coming in and zero clue what to do, I cannot afford to blow this opportunity!” I was all like "wow, that's too much info in 2 mins." But, don't worry, we will break it down one by one and get started with the #pitch deck. I quickly sent him across a detailed 10-minute questionnaire that helps me understand - their product in depth, - potential markets, - revenue models - short term needs - long term goals - team and major of them all, - the industry problem it solves! Once we had the questionnaire filled, things came clearer to me as to what approach we should take to build the deck. Clearly, the one with intensive research was not feasible keeping the time constraint in mind. So we gathered as many research papers and articles as possible to learn more about the product, its impact, and industry challenges from scholarly articles and ResearchGate! Then I broke it down into bits and pieces, understanding the product USPs and the most powerful solution it offers to the challenge. Soon enough the picture started coming clearer to me as to what information has to go in which slide. Once that was ready, I immediately jumped into the mood board side of things. Luckily, the brand had a good brand guideline which made our work at least 5 times easier. With the guideline, we created a mood board for every slide that needed to come alive. In a dark theme, we built a presentation that (not to brag) amused the client! But we were still not done with 1 day left for a stunning #video for the product. Our script writer wrote a script that had - a very powerful hook for the video, - a rehook that grabbed everyone's attention, - a problem followed by agitation and - a solution ending things with a strong note in a cliffhanger! Once the script was ready, we made the visual board for the video with rough pen and paper #sketch and immediately got into After Effects with a few templates we quickly grabbed from Envato! With some basic 3D mockups we had ready made in Blender, we were able to make a video that not only "told" the #product story, but also sold the product in story! The event went by and we had some amazing messages from the client’s side. Here are a few of those screenshots the client got from their stakeholders. This has been by far one of our best #achievements and #successstories. What's your proudest career moment? P.S: If you wish to see the pitch deck, simply drop a “Send” in the comments and I will DM it to you!
