Extra Crunch Live: Insights from Tech Leaders

The Extra Crunch Live event series, exclusive to members, has begun 2021 with considerable success. These events showcase prominent tech leaders sharing their expertise on crafting effective pitch decks and more.

Early Sessions and Key Takeaways

So far this year, attendees have benefited from valuable insights. Justworks’ Isaac Oates and Bain’s Matt Harris demonstrated the power of simplicity in deck design. Lightspeed’s Gaurav Gupta and Grafana’s Raj Dutt explained how to effectively structure a compelling narrative.

Furthermore, participants gained knowledge regarding pricing strategies from Accel’s Steve Loughlin and Ironclad’s Jason Boehmig. Felicis’ Aydin Senkut and Guideline’s Kevin Busque emphasized the benefits of concise pitch decks.

Upcoming Events in March

The momentum continues with a robust schedule planned for March. Featured speakers include Sarah Kunst of Cleo Capital, Julia Collins from PlanetFWD, Emmalyn Shaw of Flourish Ventures, Adam Roseman of Steady, Navin Chaddha of Mayfield, and Manish Chandra of Poshmark.

The Pitch Deck Teardown: A Valuable Resource

A particularly beneficial component of Extra Crunch Live is the Pitch Deck Teardown. Esteemed speakers analyze pitch decks submitted by audience members, providing real-time feedback.

This offers an exceptional opportunity to understand the perspectives of both venture capitalists and founders regarding the elements of a successful deck.

Understanding the Investor Perspective

The pitch deck holds significant importance, often serving as the initial interaction between a company and potential investors. However, the process by which investors review these decks – and their underlying thoughts – remains somewhat opaque.

Do investors quickly scan slides or dedicate more time to each one? Is the team’s experience or the industry landscape considered more crucial? Do they favor data-driven presentations or narrative-focused approaches? What constitutes an optimal slide count?

These questions are numerous, and definitive answers are often elusive. However, the Pitch Deck Teardown aims to illuminate this process.

Submit Your Pitch Deck

If you believe your pitch deck would benefit from expert evaluation, you can submit it for consideration on Extra Crunch Live. Priority is given to decks from Extra Crunch members, but all submissions are welcome and reviewed as possible.
