DESCRIPTION
How to pitch a VC, Content by Dave McClure. Design by SlidesThatRock (which I really like and use) If you want to know how to get funded by a venture capital or angel investor this will help. Use this deck design and win a startup weekend (which we did) or get accepted into an Accelerator program like 500 startups, Y combinator or Techstars. Even works as a great pitch deck to explain your lean startup assumptions for early fundraising.TRANSCRIPT

We are big fans of Dave McClure and his “10 Slides to an Awesome Pitch”. We use this structure with our clients. It Rocks!
We also believe Dave’s slide design can be improved.We have told Dave but he doesn’t give a sh*t! (That’s just Dave).
We decided to design a new version of “10 Slides to an Awesome Pitch”
