How 30+ companies raised over $1B combined. We curated their pitch decks - free to download. People typically sell this stuff for $99+, but we're giving it out for free. 100+ founders have already grabbed it. Comment "Pitch" & I'll DM you. Must be following.

The VC money you're chasing is already gone. Founders delay announcing funding rounds by up to 12 months. By the time TechCrunch covers a "hot new sector," VCs have already placed their bets and moved on. Build what you actually want to build.

AI SDRs have been thrust into the spotlight again thanks to the controversy surrounding 11xai. I'm skeptical that AI SDRs are effective. All they do is cold email prospects with terrible AI-sounding personalization. Poor personalization is a detriment, not a benefit.

The startup paradox. You need growth to raise funding. But need funding to grow. We're helping break this cycle by making elite 0-1 talent (the kind that commands $300K+ salaries) accessible to founders at a fraction of the cost.

Selling when you go from 0 -> 1 is different from selling at scale. Many founders try to replicate the sales playbook of an established company and completely fail. At the early stages, sales calls should not even feel like sales calls because your goal is to learn.

I scaled a service business from $0 to $20K/month in just 30 days. No audience. No content. No connections. I've helped many others replicate this exact system. Comment "Send" and I'll DM you the 3-step framework. *Must be Following*

I've noticed a very strange founder phenomenon. Analytical people become less analytical when they become founders. I believe it stems from fear. It's scary to review your company metrics when the metrics aren't good. Because of this, founders ignore their metrics.

Many entrepreneurs underestimate the effort it takes to go from 0 -> 1. They look at established companies and say "I can do that too". Yet, they fail to realize the sheer amount of effort it took for that company to gain initial traction.

I talk to 20+ founders every month. All of them want to fundraise, but less than 10% are actually ready to raise. They view fundraising as the starting point of their business, when it should actually be the accelerant.

Your pitch deck has 20 seconds to make an impact. We've tracked how long investors spend on our client's pitch decks. The average investor who says "no" to a meeting spends ~20 seconds before closing the doc. The average investor who says "yes" spends ~ 2 minutes.

If you want to raise $1M+, it's more important to be clear than to be clever. Instead, most founders do the opposite: 1. In attempt to have perfect accuracy, founders deliver a complicated story. 2. In attempt to seem more sophisticated, founders include confusing buzzwords.…
