FREE ONLINE: How to create a pitch deck to secure investment offers

Feeling invisible to investors?

You pour your heart into your pitch deck, hit send, and… crickets. Silence. It’s a tough reality for many entrepreneurs.

Join funding expert Paul Grant for a live webinar where he’ll reveal exactly why your pitch deck isn’t landing – and, more importantly, how to make investors sit up and take notice.

Paul will guide you slide-by-slide to craft a deck and approach that draws in the right investors. He’ll break down his proven framework and share the “e-Factor” – the spark that makes investors pay attention.

Then, he’ll select one participant’s deck, dissect it through an investor’s eyes, and transform it into a magnetic pitch that captivates.

In a nutshell

By the end of this webinar, you'll know...

✦ Why your deck isn’t clicking with investors (and how to fix that)

✦ The opening line that grabs attention from the first slide

✦ What investors are looking for when reviewing your deal

✦ How to showcase your best ideas effectively

✦ How to weave the “e-Factor” into your pitch to make it come to life

✦ Common founder mistakes that signal “pass” to investors – and how to avoid them

✦ Steps to spark real conversations – and land offers from the right investors

Who is it for?

Entrepreneurs at all stages - whether you're about to launch your startup or have an established business.

Your Questions

This is not just a presentation. We'll open up the webinar for live Questions & Answers to tackle your challenges and help you get clarity on next steps.

Paul will also provide a live, cold-start review of an attendee’s real pitch deck, showing exactly how investors see it.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll have a proven, slide-by-slide blueprint you can copy to craft a pitch deck that attracts the right investors.
