How to tell a compelling story within your deck that keeps the viewer's attention

You'll learn:

  • Learn the ideal amount of slides that investors are expecting, borrowing best practice frameworks from top investors like 500 Startups and YCombinator.
  • How to use illustrations, diagrams, and icons to enhance your data and make it more memorable and picturable.
  • Using color concepts like brightness, contrast and opacity to prioritize elements and make them "pop" or become more subtle reinforcements.
  • Learn how to use visual hierarchy to arrange each element on the page according to its importance. This helps to get the most vital points across first.
  • Creating order out of chaos through the use of grids, improving legibility, organization and the “pro look” that breeds trust with investors.
