Exposes 30 Pitch
Deck Missteps
Startup Founders
Must Avoid
|
|
|
|
Are You
Sabotaging Your
Own Startup
Pitch?
|
|
It happens more
often than you'd
think. The same
passion that
drives your
startup can
sometimes cloud
your judgment when
it comes to
crafting the
perfect pitch
deck.
|
|
Startup founders,
especially in the
early stages, tend
to make the same
avoidable
mistakes—ones that
could cost them
vital funding and
credibility.
|
|
Confluencevc has
identified 30
critical missteps
that most founders
unknowingly make
in their pitch
decks. These
aren't just minor
slip-ups; they’re
deal-breakers.
|
|
From cluttered
slides to missing
key financials,
overlooking these
details can turn a
"Yes" into a hard
"No" in the eyes of
investors.
|
|
Here’s the truth:
investors review
hundreds of decks
every month. You
have
minutes—sometimes
seconds—to make a
lasting
impression.
|
|
Are you
confident your
pitch is
flawless, or are
these subtle
errors holding
you back?
|
|
At Confluencevc,
we’ve compiled a
comprehensive
guide revealing
the 30 most common
pitch deck
mistakes—and more
importantly, how
to avoid them.
|
|
This isn’t just
another “how-to”
guide. It’s a
field-tested
playbook straight
from the desks of
seasoned investors
and VCs who know
what gets
attention...and
what gets tossed
aside.

your pitch to
the next
level?

PDF

you're not making
any of these 30
costly mistakes.
Your funding
success might just
depend on
it!
