For Female Founders

Build a Pitch Deck
That Wins Investors Over

Learn more

Female founders often present their results too modestly. Strong numbers get downplayed, growth forecasts stay conservative, and the real potential of the business isn’t always visible to investors

Together with our expert Dina Karakash, VC & startup advisor, we’ve created a practical guide for female founders on how to build a clear, winning pitch deck

What's inside

  • The must-have slides investors expect (and when to skip the rest)
  • Story architecture that works in the room and over email
  • The approach that earns trust: transparent numbers, clear design
  • Key traction metrics investors care about: retention, payback, CAC/LTV (explained with details)
  • Forecasts & vision that are bold, yet grounded in your TAM/SAM/SOM*
  • Effective Ask for Funding: how to communicate how much money you need, why now, and where the money goes

* Total Addressable Market, Serviceable Available Market, Serviceable Obtainable Market
