My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Pitch decks should focus on building investor confidence, not explaining product features

Evidence

Successful fundraising focuses on answering investor questions: Are you credible? Is problem big? Is solution working? How big can this get?

Implication

Structure pitch around evidence that reduces investor risk perception rather than technical product details

Counter Belief

Investors need to understand exactly how the product works to evaluate the technology and competitive advantage

Example Application

Spend more slides on market size, traction metrics, and team credentials than on product architecture or feature specifications
