This document outlines the roadmap for getting startup funding. It begins with sending an introductory email to investors, who may then ask for a pitch deck. An appealing pitch deck should then be sent by email. If the investor shows interest through follow-up questions, it could lead to a scheduled meeting. The meeting typically involves a 15-20 minute pitch presentation followed by Q&A. Additional meetings may then occur, potentially culminating in receiving funding. The document also advertises a startup pitch toolkit that can save founders time in developing the content and design of a winning pitch deck.

For startup,
Funding is the
key stepping
stone towards
success

4. © SlideBlueprint.com All rights reserved. 4
However, raising funds
from external sources
require A LOT of
homework even though
there are a lot of
investors out there
seeking promising
companies

Even worse, Investors have very short
attention spans
3+ minutes
Investors spend only 3 minutes
44 seconds on average
reviewing a pitch deck
5000+ pitches
The average VC firm is exposed
at least 5,000 pitches per year
20-minutes
If you have landed an investor
meetings, even though most
meetings last an hour, you
should keep your presentation
at the 20-minute mark.

at the end they
