DETAILS

Your pitch deck is the story you're telling VCs that you're investor ready.

But here's the disconnect: Founders & VCs don't mean the same thing when they use that phrase. Founders use the deck to prove belief. VCs read it to assess risk.

Join Tova Feldheim, Caroline Jerome & Anthony Rose to break down how VCs actually interpret your deck, what investor ready really means on their side of the table, & how to close the gap between feeling ready & being fundable.

They'll unpack where founders' assumptions clash with how investors assess decks, traction, metrics, & narrative - & why that gap quietly derails fundraises.

Expect real examples, live critique, & a clear checklist to help you move from feeling ready to being truly fundable before your next investor conversation.

Who it's for

Founders raising Pre-Seed to Series A who want to know what their deck is really signaling to investors

Teams getting meetings but not converting despite feeling investor ready

Founders who've polished their deck but haven't pressure-tested the story with a VC lens

Repeat founders looking for an up-to-date view of how investors define readiness

Operators & advisors shaping decks, data rooms, & fundraising narratives
