Ready? (No..) set, pitch

It is often very hard to surface the most important content after swimming in a pool of them for a while. Our team met for 2 hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to discuss how to pitch and how to make our pitch deck.

Instead of just drifting from topics to topics as things pop up in our mind, we decided to make a list and be realistic about how much time we have before we need to move on.

We agreed on a list of things to do and time boxed them.

Our team also referred to the list of 30 successful pitch decks. As we went through different existing pitch decks, we discussed what we might be able to reference and took notes of that.

We listed out what to include in the pitch deck and self-assigned tasks.

In conclusion, it was very helpful to look at what has been tried in the past and build on those. It is often very easy to forget how there is an archive of work that can and should be referenced so that we are not burning time on trying to invent a wheel from scratch.
