Description: 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.
