- Most founder pitch decks have a serious mistake: the slide titles are just straight-up awful. Founders need to design their pitch decks to be skimmable, and good slide titles can make a massive difference. In this video, we’ll explain what a good startup pitch deck slide title actually looks like-and we even feature an good example. Thanks for watching!

My pitch deck has the exact bad titles named at the beginning of the video! LOL Re-writing them immediately. THANK YOU!
nice! way to hustle!
This makes so much sense! I’m sharing this vid with all the founders I know 🙌
Love it! These titles are so descriptive! I'm going to use these tricks moving forward.
Thank you so much ❤
Grateful to work with you!
Love it! Love the pace of the video and make all the points clear in 10 minutes
Thank you! We will try to make them even snappier too in the future. :)
Great first episode! Thanks Eric & Janel!
Thank you Michael!
Woohoo! 🎉 Going back to work and create a new pitch deck version, great video. Thank you all.

Great video and great event on The Founder Institute! Thank you for your knowledge!!

NICE!
Love this! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sunday!
Great video, guys! The advice makes total sense and I will definitely apply it in the future.
Feedback on the video: Maybe at the very beginning have a view in which we can see you guys side by side, like a Zoom/Meet layout so the viewer can immediately visualise that you are doing this like on a call. The flow you have in this video forces the user to think and try to understand the dynamic. By adding that view at the beginning with the two of you connect, online like a Zoom/Meet layout, that part is quickly taken care of.
Keep it up, guys! 🚀
Thanks, Charles! Appreciate the feedback! We're on it 😅
Appreciate this Eric and Janel!

pls tell us the non-hyper-growth / nonvc resources available for projects that are not vc-fundable
Great tip for future episode, thanks!
Do you recommend starting your deck with a 1-page executive summary? (when emailed)
Great question. Not really. Assuming you just got off a call with the potential investor, they'll have the overview the summary would provide. If you are sharing the deck and you haven't yet met, your email blurb should do the trick
@@HustleFund Perfect thanks! Great series overall 👍
