Get backed : craft your story, build the perfect pitch deck, launch the venture of your dreams
(Book)

Includes index.

Now that you have your big idea, how will you find and win your first investor? You need a pitch deck--the perfect set of slides to persuade investors to back you and your venture. But a pitch deck isn't merely a business plan put into PowerPoint--nor does a pitch deck magically turn into investor capital. A pitch deck communicates your vision and competence and can be used as part of an investor road show. But most of all, a great deck will help you build the relationships that will sustain your business. Here, Evan Baehr and Evan Loomis--two veterans of the startup world--will show you how to create a compelling pitch deck and how to plan and execute a fundraising road show that will win financial support for your business. This process will also help you think more clearly about your vision, your company, and your relationships.--Adapted from cover flap.
