Say hi to Pitch Guide.
Most of the work Haje does is with founders raising between $2-20 million. However, he works with a lot of accelerators and VCs to help their portfolio companies along, as well. Here is a collection of resources for first-time founders, or founders who need a bit of help with their pitch decks and fundraising strategy.
"I increased my chance of fundraising drastically with Haje’s AI pitch deck review. After I found out that our current pitch deck doesn't have have chance, I read all of Haje’s teardowns and guidance and I completely redesigned our pitch deck.”
- Hossein Kamkar from SilicoGene
These resources are all part of Pitch Guide, a community for founders raising funding. It includes a ton of powerful tools, including:
Ready to Raise in 14 days - Especially created for first-time founders, it’s a course that helps you get investment ready by thinking through all the major steps along the way, including how much to raise, evaluating your team and market opportunity, and figuring out how to do an investor outreach campaign.
The Pitch Guide Knowledge Base - How many slides do you need? What are the common pitfalls for a team slide? What do you do about traction when you don’t have revenue yet? How do I present my ‘use of funds’ as part of a pitch? It’s all in the always-up-to-date Knowledge Base.
The AI-powered pitch deck review - Feed your pitch deck to an AI to get in-depth feedback on what works - and what doesn’t.
Live pitch deck reviews - come hang out as Haje evaluates pitch decks live - who knows, you might learn something along the way! There’s a Q&A at the end to ask additional questions.
Subscriber-only Q&A sessions - Got questions about pitching or your pitch deck? Subscribers get access to monthly Q&A calls.
Writings
In addition to Pitch Guide - described above - Haje has done a bunch of writings elsewhere:
Don't sit wondering if your deck is holding you back... So often founders are trying to figure things out in the dark, thanks to Haje and team, your pitch deck is one area you don't need to be in the dark.”
- Robert Winder, CEO at Euto Energy
In addition to Pitch Guide - described above - Haje has done a bunch of writings elsewhere:
He has written a book - Pitch Perfect, that covers a lot of the basics of pitching and storytelling.
There’s also a huge library of writings about pitching that he wrote for TechCrunch, and a ton of Pitch Deck Teardowns - more than 80 sample decks with commentary.
As part of the book, he created a pitch deck template that has been used by hundreds of founders so far. It is fully annotated, to help you get the full context for why each slide exists, and the information investors are looking for.
