Hey {{first_name|default:there}}, it’s Vadim 👋
So, how bout those Knicks? 🎉🎉
Honestly, I still can’t believe it.
When not riding the emotional rollercoaster that’s been the Finals series, I've been heads-down building the slides for Tuesday's free workshop, and honestly, I'm pretty excited about how it's coming together!
If you haven't grabbed a seat yet, you can do that right here 👇
OK, on to today’s specials.
There’s a question I get very often, usually from founders that are just about to kick off a raise. It goes something like:
“I think the deck is finally done. Can you tell me if I'm missing anything?”
Now, you may say - that’s a perfectly reasonable question, right?
It turns out the truth is a bit more nuanced, and in a way that may be counterintuitive.
Today I’d like to walk through why that’s actually the wrong question to ask, and a framework that you can use in its place that may be a lot more productive.
It’s the same framework we’ll continue building on in Tuesday’s workshop, so think of today as a mental warmup, or a nutritional appetitizer 🙂
🧭 HERE’S WHAT WE’LL COVER:
The most expensive mistake you can make with your deck, and why it disguises itself as progress
The one reframe that quietly changes how you build every slide
The Three C’s Framework: the emotional arc every fundraise actually moves through
And more!
Let's dive in!
