So, I'm on revision number fityleven of my pitch deck and I get it now!
I see why people take months to get this phase right. I watch Ed Kang, an advisor and investor at startups.com, he does Pre-Seed and Seed pitch deck reviews & critiques and he sometimes reviews pitch decks that have been submitted to him 3 & 4 times before they're even ready to go in front of investors.
Again, these are Pre-Seed decks so these are very early stages, exactly where I'm at. The bonus is, as my pitch deck has become Better, it has also helped to make it even easier to give a 30 or 60 second elevator pitch. This process is pretty dope. Especially because I'm so personally invested in what I'm building because it stems from my own need and experience as a young woman.
There's still a long way to go but the progress I'm making overall with building The Franklin Tree foundation is amazing!
