Lotte's insights on the truth about fundraising.
Investment capital secrets - straight from the source
Fundraising is sales, but you’re not selling equity, you’re selling belief. Investors don’t buy your product; they buy the feeling that you’re the team who can win this market. The energy, the momentum, the conviction. That’s what makes them invest. Charisma helps, but it’s not everything. Confidence matters, but too much of it turns people off.

Robin's insight on the pitch deck
Decks that win
Investor decks are basically a summary of your (winning) strategy moving forward with your startup idea. And as investors have very little time, we emphasised on the summary part; keep it short and snappy, and separate primary from secondary things. What truly wins is preparation. Like an athlete, you need to train for every aspect of the process, know your stats inside out, anticipate tough questions, and understand the investor’s mindset. Never hide behind your slides; answer directly, then guide them to the reference later.
