Deck or Conversation?
Some thoughts on constructing effective pitch meetings
When meeting with a Founder for the first time, one of the questions I’m often asked is “Would you like to see a deck or just have a conversation?” The answer is that the most effective meetings are a combination of both. From a Founder’s perspective, it’s important to remember what the goals of the meeting are. The foremost goal is to secure funding. The second goal is to understand whether or not the person you are meeting with can bring value outside of their dollars.
