How to develop Startup Pitch Deck
A presentation on The Art of Pitching by Kashyap Pandya - Founder & Director of Syncoro Ventures Pvt Ltd. The presentation covers the key points to be included in your pitch deck while presenting it to the prospective investors.
Creating win win-win ventures for founders, investors and advisors v3
Building High Growth Ventures single-handedly is unquestionably very difficult, but today we examine an approach which will make the process considerably easier.
In previous presentations we have heard from Founders who have succeeded through bootstrapping or (the opposite extreme) listing on the ASX. While these approaches are technically possible and viewed as a bit of a hero's journey/ badge of honour… if there was a better way, surely we should take it!
Startups require the involvement of founders, investors and advisors to succeed. In this session we will look at a model of engagement that works for all involved on the road to commercialising innovative products & services.
We will also learn about what our friends in the UK and US are doing that we need to embrace, if we wish to replicate the higher success rates they enjoy.
We’ll also take an honest look at our isolation & cultural/economic limitations as a startup outpost and see what can be done to overcome these structural disadvantages.
Once we know what Perth’s / Australia’s innovation infrastructure challenges are, we can head them off at the pass.
We’ll also reflect on the benefits of being isolated from the Global Startup centres of excellence.

How to build great products - TechSaturdays
Sebastian Kwiecień discusses how startups can build great products. He explains that the traditional product development model is not well-suited for innovative tech products with unknown customers. Instead, startups should use an iterative customer development approach to understand customer needs through ongoing testing and feedback. This involves building a minimum viable product, measuring customer interactions, and learning from failures to confirm a scalable business model. Kwiecień advocates using a lean startup methodology, which reduces waste through iterative development and early feedback from real customers to build the right product.

Pitch Deck Guide for Arts Entrepreneurs
As scout for the Exponential Creativity Fund at Fractured Atlas, I’m in the unique position of finding arts entrepreneurs to pitch to our impact investment fund, helping them prepare, and participating in the pitch sessions.
A strong pitch deck is an essential tool for those seeking investment. It facilitates informed and juicy dialogue around what really matters, and it empowers a potential investor to do the following:
Research your company before meeting with you in real time
Follow along during your pitch
Introduce you to others within their network by sharing your pitch deck
While most of the founders pitching to the Exponential Creativity Fund have strong pitch decks, there have been a few who have asked our advice on what to include. Recognizing that new entrepreneurs coming out of the arts & culture sector are likely more familiar with grant or marketing partnership proposals, and that an investment pitch deck is radically different, Fractured Atlas decided to create and share a pitch deck guide. Our intention is to help arts entrepreneurs think through and prepare to seek investment whether you are pitching to our fund, or elsewhere.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
