Why Your Pitch Deck Doesn’t Work

Most pitch decks fail not because the business idea is weak, but because the narrative is broken. This  60-minute panel workshop moves beyond “pretty slides” to conduct a live autopsy of the modern pitch. Using the gold-standard pitch deck framework, we deconstruct the common friction points that cause investors and customers to tune out or turn off!

The panel discussion features successful entrepreneurs and accelerator leads, that discuss the initial “Hook” to the final “Ask” to help founders reveal the difference between a technical manual and a fundable story!

Who It’s For?

• Founders
• Student Competitors
• Technical Leads (i.e Patents to Product, NSF I-Corp, etc)

Speakers:

Kris Talley, Founder, Logo Brands

Olaf Schulz, ZeroTo510 MedTech Accelerator

Whitney Hardy, Crews Center for Entrepreneurship (moderator)
