• Sanjay runs Startup Riot where, once a year, 50 companies pitch their deck in a single day. He has seen the whole range of pitches – good to bad.
• He shared this 8 minute interview with The Startup Foundry

Some quick highlights:

1. Don’t skip the “why” of your startup. Assume the crowd knows nothing about your startup.
2. Keep it simple. Text is fine for a document, not a PowerPoint.
3. You want to emotionally connect with the audience.
4. People connect with stories, not facts and figures. Focus on your narrative.
