Building Startups: the "3rd co-founder model"eFounders
Among the myriad of types of structures breeding startups (incubators, accelerators, etc.), a new successful model has emerged: the startup studio. Brand new, this model is already controversial, as show the announced IPO of Rocket Internet. Here is how we see the startup studio model: as being a 3rd co-founder. You can reed the full version on our blog: http://efounders.co/blog/startup-studio-the-3rd-co-founder-model/
Transparency is one of our core values at Seedcamp and we are no strangers to how tough the fundraising process can be. In a continued spirit of openness and to show how - like with startups - our own story and proposition moves on, we're sharing the deck we used to raise our heavily-oversubscribed Seedcamp Fund V.

5 Pitch Deck Mistakes That Can Keep You From Getting FundedDeck Works
Pitch decks are important to securing funding for your startup. But how do you avoid the common mistakes that can keep you from getting funded?
Here are 5 pitch deck mistakes to avoid when raising funds.

The Ultimate Investor Pitch Deck TemplateCrowdfunder
Great startups don’t fund themselves. Raising money from investors requires a great pitch, even for experienced founders with significant traction in their startup.
There’s a formula for pitching your startup that has helped startup founders raise millions.
In short, this formula involves crafting a larger story / narrative, while speaking directly to what investors are looking for and need to know about you, your company, your market, and your plan.
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.
Lessons we learned from designing 30+ pitch decksVisual Hackers
Everyone has their own way of communicating and this is reflected in the way they formulate their pitch deck structure. In all these journeys, we’ve learned a series of lessons that we want to share with you today, based on real-life decks we've helped build.
Bolt pitch deck: $393M Series D, $6B+ valuationPitch Decks
One-click checkout Bolt used this 12-page deck to describe raise $393M in Series D funding for expanding its network of 5.6 million consumers.
Bolt is an innovative payment processing company that offers an integrated checkout experience that enables retailers to convert and retain more consumers. This round of $333 million in Series D funding and $60 million in follow-on capital will “fuel commerce’s first federated checkout network”, and brings Bolt’s total funding to over $600 million.
Most impressively, the round comes at ~18× the valuation that Bolt was priced at just eighteen months prior, using the simple 12-slide deck below:

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.
How To Make The Perfect Startup Pitch DeckBarcinno
Preparing for an investor presentation can be a pretty daunting task. Whether it’s your first time sending a pitch deck to investors or you’re presenting at Techcrunch Disrupt in front of 5.000 people, a solid structure is fundamental for a coherent and commanding presentation.
Communicating your message with clarity is everything. Given that you have limited time to present and captivate investors, presenting with passion, simplicity and power is paramount. We suggest that you organize your pitch deck in the following order as a general guideline. Remember, you only have a short amount of time for this pitch so practice until it’s perfect and stay focused!

Strategies for Accessing the US Market (Feb 1-2, 2016)Gil Ben-Artzy
In this talk, I try to offer practical advice for you to implement based on real case studies from the past 10 years of working with and investing in dozens of Israeli startups that have successfully brought their companies to the US.
Some of the topics covered include:
* Plans for creating momentum in the US, even while you are based in Israel
* Considerations and best practices for establishing your US office
* If, when and how to begin fundraising in the US
Accessing Silicon Valley: A Primer for the Israeli EntrepreneurGil Ben-Artzy
When should you visit the US with your startup? How do you make your visit worthwhile and begin to gain momentum? When and how should you fundraise in the US? We’ll discuss what you need to think about when answering these questions, as well as best practices and common pitfalls. Some of the topics that will be covered include:
- Best timing to access the US (product mock-up stage, post-launch, etc)
- Fundraising best practices, differences from Israel
- Cultural nuances and why you it really matters
- East Coast vs. West Coast considerations
Investors historically sit through pitches and evaluate early stage startups on three primary metrics: 1) great looking product demos, 2) compelling presentations, and 3) a strong team. Steve Blank, the Godfather of the Lean Startup movement said in his Customer Development Manifesto: “There’s no formal way for an investor to assess project maturity or quantify risks. Other than measuring engineering progress, there’s no standard language to communicate progress.”
What has been missing is a common language to communicate objectives and data that investors and entrepreneurs can use to communicate startup readiness.
Fortunately, the principles developed in the Lean Startup movement can be utilized to help entrepreneurs assess their Investor Readiness Level in a way that allows them to demonstrate “evidence” of their readiness. In this session, Max Green and Heath Naquin, both of the IC2 Institute, will share this new method for entrepreneurs to gauge their own investor readiness using the principles of Steve Blank's Investment Readiness Level and LeanLaunchpad.
Entrepreneurs attending this session will learn a valuable approach helping their start-up team prove their competence and validate their ideas by showing investors “evidence” that there’s a repeatable and scalable business model.
Heath Naquin serves as Executive Director for the SW I-Corps Node at The University of Texas at Austin. He also serves as the Managing Director for a multi-university NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) the Center for Next Generation Photovoltaics. Heath was a founding member of three different start-up business initiatives across sectors. He has helped companies raise more than $30 Million in funding from private and government sources.
Heath actively works on international commercialization initiatives and efforts focusing on industry collaboration, new project development and deployment along with building linkages between industry, government, academia and the venture capital community. Heath has worked in more than 20 countries on international commercialization and entrepreneurship initiatives in countries such as Colombia, Jordan, Iraq, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Armenia, and Turkey. Heath has extensive experience with the NSF, EPA and NIH SBIR programs as an active commercial reviewer for many years. Heath also currently serves as Faculty for the Concordia University Executive MBA program.

meeting
more
than
an
