A course built around the Startup Template Library’s Pitch Deck Template (10 Slides) and Investor Pitch Deck Template (20 Slides). It explains what each slide is for, what evidence belongs on it, how to move from the short deck to the long one, and how to prepare for the questions each slide invites. The course does not promise funding outcomes; it teaches you to present your company clearly and honestly so an investor can evaluate it quickly.
