What should you include in your pitch deck? Josh David Miller gives you a framework to help you create your first deck or improve your existing one.
Pitching a startup to investors is really hard, but it’s not complicated. In this workshop, hosted by InnoGrove, Josh David Miller, entrepreneur and startup advisor, discusses the basics of creating a pitch deck for your startup that will create interest from potential investors. A great pitch deck gets funders excited about your idea and engages them in a conversation about your business, which may lead to an investment.
