Its been my experience, since my first startup 7 years ago that the pitch & deck are crucial for every entrepreneur. Even if you are not raising money & running lean, you always need a good pitch & deck to find partners & customers. There is no escaping it. However I have sat through many pitches over the years and most Fail. These entrepreneurs may have wonderful startup ideas or business models however their pitches let them down. My former business in Dublin, Ireland put me on the other side of the cameras as an expert on TV & radio. I saw first hand that if you don’t engage your audience, you Fail!
