The 10 slides that you'll need in your pitch! A very good guide to help you through your application process to HKMU Startup Fund. Helen Wai
Every pitch can make or break a deal. But not all decks are created equal. Here are the only 10 slides you need in your pitch: Canva’s Chief Evangelist Guy Kawasaki distilled the art of the pitch down to a simple, yet effective formula. Here's how it works: (1) Title: Make them remember your name. It’s your first handshake. (2) Problem: If they don’t feel the problem, they won’t see the need. (3) Value Proposition: Here’s where you shine. Show your product, its benefits, and why it’s a game-changer. (4) Magic: What’s your secret sauce? Tech, patents, a killer demo. (5) Business Model: How will you make money? Be crystal clear. (6) Marketing/Sales: Your strategy to dominate the market. (7) Competition: Know your enemies and why you’re better. (8) Team: Investors bet on jockeys, not just horses. Show them your A-team. (9) Financials: Hit them with numbers that make sense. (10) Status & Use of Funds: Where you are, where you’re going, and how their money helps. There you have it. A pitch deck that doesn't just talk but persuades. What else would you add?

The only ten slides (maybe less) you need in your pitch for fund raise. Of course you need to customise it as per your requirement. #startups #tech #ai #branding

No to sharing your pitch deck as a PDF! Here’s why: 1️⃣ You lose control over who accesses your deck. 2️⃣ You can’t track engagement—like how much time an investor spends on each slide (and yes, that matters). 3️⃣ You miss out on showcasing a polished, branded experience. Now, here’s the better alternative: Sharing your deck as a link. 🔗 Tools like these make it effortless: ✅ Papermark – Track views and manage access. ✅ Dropbox DocSend – Get detailed analytics on slide-by-slide engagement. ✅ Pitch – Share interactive presentations with branding options. These platforms let you: ✔️ Monitor slide engagement and time spent. ✔️ Turn off access anytime. ✔️ Create a branded data room that aligns with your pitch’s quality. This simple shift could change how investors perceive your startup, and you. What tools do you swear by for sharing your pitch decks? Share them below! 👇 _____________________ 👋🏻 Hi there, welcome! ✨ I'm Sarah.
