Series A Needs to Change
October 6, 2025
I’ve been in Silicon Valley for almost 20 years and during that time the Series A round has barely changed.
During the latest Pitch Practice session, we had the pleasure of hosting a special guest, Rebecca Clyde, who shared her latest pitch deck for Botco.ai! As a company within our portfolio, we might be perceived as having a bias, but recognizing a great pitch is not a difficult task.
Here are the help refine their already impressive deck:
#1. Impressive color scheme and design 🎨
#2. Effective emphasis on key points 📌
#3. Focus on one number or problem 🔍
#4. Minimize the amount of on-screen text 💬
#5. Highlight numbers more throughout #️⃣
#6. Separate customers slide, larger logos on team slide 🖥️
Which takeaway do you find to add the most value from this session?
