If we only get 1% - and other advice for founders

Two months ago, I started a weekly series of posts with dos and don'ts - mostly don'ts - about how to pitch your startup. This advice comes from my own experience seeing thousands of pitches and coaching hundreds of presenters, some formally and some ad-hoc.

I've gotten great feedback from these posts - and some folks have asked that I organize all of them and make them easier to find. Hence this newsletter. I'll be continuing to post weekly; if you want to be notified of new posts in this series, use the subscribe button.

For starters, here's a list of all the posts so far in the series:

• August 04: If we only get 1% ??, and followup on Anchoring
• August 11: Nobody cares about your advisors
• August 18: We can get acquired in 24 months! ??
• August 25: The Use of Funds slide
• September 01: The Feature Comparison slide ??
• September 08: Beating a dead horse ??
• September 15: The 5-year revenue projection ??

Happy pitching!
