As I Review Your Pitch Deck, You’re Probably Bleeding Cash | by Daniel Kang | The Startup | November 2024

As a seasoned venture capitalist with experience at SoftBank Imaginative and Presicient Fund, as well as a limited partner at a seed fund, I have reviewed countless pitches across the spectrum – from pre-seed ventures to those on the cusp of an initial public offering.

“I’ve completed numerous suggestions projects alongside RazorPay, a prominent $7.5 billion company, to share valuable insights with fellow founders.” Based on a nuanced comprehension of pitch-related data, our understanding of pitches takes shape.

While every pitch has its distinctiveness, successful ones tend to share discernible patterns that become apparent only after reviewing numerous pitches – particularly among experienced venture capitalists and founders familiar with multiple funding rounds. But what’s often intuitive outside of the office may not resonate with the same frequency indoors – just as my instincts and gut feeling in an emergency room or courtroom setting could be misleading.

Regrettably, numerous organizations are dedicated to exploiting the seeming inevitability of this trend. Several months ago, I established an account to explore workflows and identify key performance indicators. Despite my background in business being my most relevant experience, I was surprised to find numerous job postings seeking expertise in pitch deck creation and evaluation at price ranges of $50 to $5,000. It’s likely that the market demand exceeds $100,000.

These pricing strategies, excluding those that are convoluted and unlikely to yield exceptional results, offer a range of approaches to consider.
