The Magic 5 Slide Framework

Description
Persuading VC's to invest in 2 startups in under a year was really difficult, but it was a great lesson in terms of the do's and don't's during fundraising.

These slides and complimentary article outline some lessons that were learned throughout the fundraising period, particularly concentrated on the first meeting, which is the most important because for the first time you're making them aware of your business and vision.

In this tool:
1. Tips, 2. Slides, and 3. Rules are shared.

Here's a preview of some tips that are explained in the PDF:

1. You don't need to use a projector in your first meeting

2. You have to understand the investor's point of view

3. If your company can't be outlined in just 5 slides, you need to go back and simplify what you're trying to portray
