Thanks for your comment. Glad I can be helpful.

Thanks for the advice Ed, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had all the ingredients for my deck, I just needed the recipe. Great guide!

You're welcome!

Excellent - What really happened now!

This is extremely well put together once again! I'd heard that you may need multiple decks but had no idea there were this many. - For the cover. Even though it is a oneliner, does that mean the "Company name" then [oneliner]? - If reaching out cold, should you send your deck in as part of your first email (or have a pitch then give them the option to request for the deck)? - Is reaching out cold to individual investors better? Or is it better to reach out to firms via their sites.

Thank you! Cover: Yes. Your name and logo. Reaching Out Cold: Yes. Upload your deck to the cloud and include your link that you put at the end of your introductory email with something like, "Feel free to look at our introductory pitch deck." Reaching Out Individually: It's always better to know someone who will refer or vouch for you internally with their firm. I avoid site submissions if I can, unless my internal contact tells me to use it so they can follow up internally.

Hello Ed, Great video! I have been following your videos for a while, and I have finished my pitch deck and business plan. Can I share these two with you? You feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ed will you be doing the video on the Master deck ?

I won't be. Master decks are too big and complicated. I would say at minimum you should have every slide I list in this video plus a lot of appendix slides to back up your claims.

Having that many decks to get an investor is like getting teeth pulled. Haha.

how did you manage to get this domain ? 😮 ​@@edkang99

How in the world did FTX make it past all of these steps to get millions/billions from investors - especially the due diligence stage - when they were missing experience and basic data?

Unfortunately, I'm sure the same way Theranos did it.

This feels overkill, also the socialize deck feels like it will be used against you for leverage from the lead investor to get a better deal. Could we not get away with like 3 decks, - a screener/ cold deck , the - main deck (not master since you don't want a crazy long deck) - and a technical deck) I could be mistaken I feel if you need like 6 decks to get funding it is over complicating the problem. If an investor needs 6 decks its likely the wrong investor and your screener deck did not do its job.

It can definitely feel like overkill. A couple of things to remember: It's really all one deck, just in different forms. So, while tedious to keep track, it's sort of like taking a black shirt and pants as a base and accessorizing. Second, sometimes you'll get an investor after just 1 meeting, so you'll only need 2 decks (intro and first meeting). However, I'm in deals now where millions are in play, and the number of deck iterations has gone beyond 10. You do what needs to be done, but yeah, it can definitely feel like overkill.
