The most common pitch deck pitfalls and how to avoid them

▤ Summary

You need a hook to build up tension, a conflict or a surprising turn to capture your audience’s interest. I vividly remember a situation where a pitch deck featured 20 slides, but the founder had only five minutes to present them. This means you need to reduce the amount of text on your slide decks, and use clear headlines and accessible graphs. You must dedicate time and focus to perfecting your pitch deck – it is your key communication tool with investors, customers and other stakeholders. If you manage to avoid these pitfalls and employ this advice, you are well on your way to creating a deck that resonates with your target audience.
