Investors receive dozens of pitch decks daily. Most are ignored after the first minute. Why? Three common mistakes:
1. No Clear Problem or Value Proposition
If your opening slide doesn’t show what problem you solve and for whom, you’ve lost your audience already.
2. Overloaded with Text
A cluttered slide full of jargon and numbers doesn’t impress—it confuses. Keep it visual and focused.
3. Weak “Why Now?”
Timing matters. If you can’t explain why this is the right time for your startup to exist, investors won’t care.
Grab attention fast: Clear, concise, and bold storytelling wins.
