Why Pitch Deck Templates Don’t Work | Fundable Startups [Video]

Many founders mistakenly assume that finding the right pitch deck template and filling it in will result in a successful fundraise. This myth is propagated by dozens of pitch deck articles and coaches that proclaim their template to be everything you need to raise investor funds.

But pitch decks don’t raise funds — fundable companies do!

Pitch decks should tell a story of your fundable startup that:
• Captivates
• Validates
• Motivates

Pitch deck templates can be a useful starting point. But founders shouldn’t just “fill in the blanks” because that rarely tells a captivating, compelling story. Entrepreneurs need to customize the template to tell a unique story about your startup. That starts with designing a story flow, then building the detail needed to support the plausible claims you make in your pitch.
