10 Years of Aleberry & Helping Founders Fundraise!
Aleberry officially turns TEN! We've worked with some pretty great founders that we love to brag on, so we took some time to put together a handful of metrics.
Pitch Deck: Traction Slide. If you have awards or user traction, show it off! Make your key metrics & logos the focal point, and don't clutter! We usually like to tie this into your milestones/financials to show what you've accomplished without the soon-to-be funding. #ecommerce
Fundraising 101: Establish That PMF (Product Market Fit)
Fundraising Tip: Establish your PMF (Product Market Fit) before starting / launching any business! This means someone other than your mum would buy your product.
Fundraising 101: What is your GTM (Go-To-Market) Strategy?
Fundraising Tip: Your deck should cover your GTM (Go-To-Market) Strategy because investors aren't mind readers & your product won't magically appear in consumers' hands. 🧙⠀
Pitch Deck: Energy Tech Problem Slide. Sometimes the industry is the problem; sometimes your competition is the problem. We always start with the standard pitch outline then adjust according to your pitch & business model.
Ever skimmed an article or recipe before reading in detail? Customers & Potential investors do the same thing on your websites & decks. Provide cues & hierarchy.
Pitch Deck: a clean MedTech cover slide for Pulmotech. Put a mini-phrase/tagline on the cover so people investors/potential clients know what to expect.
