Thank you for sharing some ♥️

I wanted to send out a big thank you to DeReK WaTSoN who not only graciously looked at our 2 investor decks, but took the time to review each page and provide me with a detailed analysis and recommendation for each page where needed. I was mind blown with the feedback doc he sent back! 🤯. With all the advice and overwhelming information for Founders on LinkedIn, it is a challenging task to stay on top of it all and to have Derek take his time to help out is invaluable and incredibly appreciated. 💚👏👏. You certainly rock Derek...

Thank you for the detailed feedback on the pitch deck. Your feedback was invaluable and really helpful for us to understand how we can convey our story in an engaging way to an investor. The main takeaway for us was how you analyzed each slide on the key points that matter: the storytelling (the narrative with a focus on the audience), the hooks (getting the audience hooked), the order (how the story flows), and of course the visual appeal and most importantly if the information is kept simple enough for the intended audience to understand.

Derek is a true professional and an experienced advisor. He has helped me in getting our pitch deck ready for the seed investment. I must say his approach to understanding how investors like to envision a great pitch deck is simply great. We took all his valuable comments on board and updated our pitch deck. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any start-up founder seeking help with their funding rounds and pitch decks.
