Speaker B describes doing a pitch deck teardown with a close friend. They got concrete feedback on what investors actually want: narrative and tailored storytelling, not rigid templates and generic slide counts.
Actually, do you, can you share like a bit from your perspective about like how it was to do a pitch deck teardown or what you learned?
Yeah, for sure. For what it's worth, I actually found it incredibly valuable. I think, to be super honest, going into the experience, I was super nervous and really just like apprehensive to have a close friend be able to assess me on such a vulnerable way. But I think the way that you were able to provide feedback Both in terms of when an investor is looking at a pitch deck and also what they're looking for in that deck was really helpful. The reason why I say those 2 things is because I think a lot of the decks that we see online are like kind of templatized. They're very much like, okay, here's the types of data you should be mentioning. Here's like the order. It should always be like X number of slides, things like that. And so I think what you had mentioned around, you know, maybe the things that you care about in terms of narrative and what you think VCs really care about, it helped me identify like expanding further beyond that template.
