What an audience - what an opportunity to speak face-to-face again to an amazing audience about Building a Winning Pitch Deck at Web Summit. 🙌 🔥🙏🏻 #WebSummit #pitchdeck #aws #startups Thank you also to Soha Hohnecker (she/her) and her fabulous marketing team for putting this beautiful theater together and to Marta Sousa Monteiro ☁️ for being the very best host in Portugal! 🇵🇹 As requested - here the deadly sins I presented: 1.Burying the lead (too much info) -- you have 15 secs to capture attention 2.Lacking a coherent thesis 3.Not recognizing and addressing most common concerns regarding your business -- the FAQ 4.Having no competition 5.Magical thinking about market size 6.Charts and stats that are way too complex 7.Design & grammar matter!! 8.Pretending you know everything 9.Not knowing all you should know

Why is "having no competition" automatically characterised as a deadly sin? What if the startup is fixing a problem nobody sees, or thinks outside the box and solves a common problem in a totally different way?

Thanks for the presentation Anna, I really really got out of it and want to use it as base for my idea! Is it possible to forward a link or upload the deck so we can use it for reference when building our deck? Thank you!! Ivo
