For many of us, the feeling of inevitable doom when we start writing our investment strategy can be overwhelming. Just how much effort should we put into creating something that might just get shut down? Or worse, ignored. It all feels so defeating and before you know it, you are quickly running out of cash. Major heartburn.

The document provides an outline and recommendations for creating an effective investor pitch deck. It recommends including: (1) a visual title slide that conveys your vision and problem being solved, (2) data showing the problem and current solutions, (3) how your solution alleviates customer pain, (4) step-by-step explanation of how your product works, (5) facts and metrics demonstrating traction and progress, (6) details on the size of the market opportunity and target customers, (7) what makes your approach unique compared to competitors, (8) how you will generate revenue, (9) key financial numbers, (10) specifics on the funding request and use of funds, (11) biographies of
This is the handout from a presentation that I made at a startups workshop in Jakarta, Indonesia. I was amazed at the lack of clarity that most of the participants had in their "pitches" and the lack of understanding of the need to tailor your pitch to the audience, as well as your own objectives.
Of course, the actual presentation was less wordy, and adhered to Guy Kawasaki's 30/20/10 rule as well as the 7 x7 mode of slide presentation
Choosing your technology stack is one of many decisions you’ll have to make when creating a company from scratch. Along with this, you’ll need to figure out who you should found a company with, who you should take money from, what the company culture should be, management processes, and who to hire when. Joe will be covering basic technology stack choices (cloud v. hosted, frameworks, etc.) as well as other critical decisions one faces when starting a startup.
How to make an investor pitch deck that really worksDeck Rooster
In sales, a well established principle is, before one starts pitching to a customer, one should listen to what the customer has to say. That is because if you listen carefully he will lay out his needs in front of you, letting you present your solution in a way that fits into his needs perfectly.
The principle should be equally useful while pitching to an investor while raising funds. I can’t see a reason why it won’t be. But no one seems to be suggesting “you should listen more and talk less during an investor pitch”. Probably it is assumed that we already know what investors look for in a business. Is it a rockstar team; or may be a huge market size or is it traction or a break-through technology? Or may be different investors look for different combination of those things.
Actually all of those are means towards an end. They help investors figure out something more specific and quantitative that all investors look for in a startup before investing. But what is it?
A 10x return on their investment. That is it.
That number may vary from an early stage investor to a growth stage one, but you get the point, right? Not everyone says it out loud, because it makes them look money hungry, but that is what an investor business is all about.
But, now with that knowledge, how do you tweak your pitch and your pitch deck to make an investor feel that you are offering him an investment opportunity that could deliver a 10x return? And more importantly, can your business even deliver 10x return?
The above presentation by Deck Rooster answers those questions and offers a structure (not a template) for an investor pitch deck for startups. Check it out.
The document discusses Ken Singer's "Berkeley Method" for entrepreneurship and startup teams. It outlines Singer's model for the startup journey, emphasizing the importance of team formation and diversity. Successful teams require a variety of skills and personalities. When choosing teammates, it is important to find people with complementary strengths to balance the team across business functions, roles, experiences, and other aspects of diversity. Teammates should be chosen for their skills and ability to work through disagreements, rather than just being agreeable.

This document discusses strategies for product growth. It recommends focusing on understanding customers' needs, validating ideas by charging early, nailing down 1-2 distribution channels, providing an "aha moment" to acquire users, and making the product sticky to retain them. Key tips include setting aggressive goals, serving one audience exceptionally well with one product initially, and not focusing on funding but on building something people want to use and pay for. Validation should follow a process of achieving paying customers, retention, and scalable economics.

Sales Hacker Conference San Francisco - Craig Rosenberg - 5 Ways Salespeople ...Sales Hacker
This document discusses 5 sales hacking techniques: 1) Extreme personalization of outreach messages, 2) Leveraging visual content like GIFs and videos, 3) Offline touches like sending gifts, 4) The "high-low play" of targeting both individual contributors and decision makers, and 5) Creating strategic content to reach decision makers. Examples are provided for each technique, such as personalized emails highlighting common interests, including a funny GIF, sending running shoes to prospects, and creating a risk report to share with executives.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.
I themed this deck using Baldur's Gate 3 characters: Gale as Search and Astarion as Social

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Voice Challenges
… I’ve learned the two primary challenges for skills developers &
entrepreneurs: monetization (which is coming!) and distribution.
6. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 6
Enabling a Skill: Voice
Currently, there are two ways to enable an Alexa Skill:
#1 Invoke by directly speaking to Alexa.
• Be very deliberate about naming
• e,g, “opening bell” vs. “stock price”
• No longer need to directly “enable” – invocation-only creates
land rush for namespace
• Potentially try multiple skill names to see what naturally sticks best?
• Drive offline “awareness” to force voice prompting
• Brands have an initial unfair advantage, but functions can stick
User acquisition Marketing implications
7. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 7
Enabling a Skill: via “Screen”
The other way to enable an Alexa Skill:
#2 On a screen via webpage or in-app.
• Each Skill’s landing page can be recipient of traffic
• “Skill Store Optimization” (like App Store Optimization) can
be effective use of resources
• Lo-fi brute force is meaningful, for now (and a while?)
• Cross-promote if you’ve created more than one Skill
User acquisition Marketing implications
8. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 8
Dedicated Page
Market to Skill page, but funnel traffic through your own prior.
• Test paid traffic
• Even though loop won’t fully be
closed to calculate CPA, gain
directional understanding
• Depending on skill, best channels
will differ (paid search, Facebook)
• Voice is a popular search term =
spend time with Google Adwords
• Don’t fully cede to Amazon,
have landing page prior
• Content marketing and SEO to
build inertia over time
9. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 9
Skill Store Optimization
Play the game with Skill Store Optimization (“SSO”).
• Have a strong skill that
will rate well, but
supercharge the launch
• Orchestrate at least ten
positive reviews from
your friends
• Your reviews are being
read by Amazon =
address critiques
• Embed a review call-to-
action inside Skill
• Paid marketing can
potentially self-
reinforce with being
featured
10. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 10
Influence the Influencers
Navigate your way to the Amazon employees with influence.
• Skills that are unique or
showcase Alexa in novel
way are prioritized
11. CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 11
Cross-Skill Promotion
Creating more than one Skill & promote within your “network.”
• A great place to promote a
Skill is within another Skill
• Extending reach within context
for user to naturally try another
• Consider a suite of Skills
rather than just one
depending on functionality
