Meet our guest

Name: Sam Eisenberg

What they do: Sam is a co-founder of Design for Decks, which helps entrepreneurs craft professional, head-turning pitch decks that impress investors. He is also the founder of ReadWith.Love- a voice-cloned audiobook subscription service.

Interesting fact: Sam has observed that entrepreneurs often make two common mistakes when creating their pitch deck:

  • They fail to prioritise the most significant highlights and present them in a clear and concise manner. It is crucial to keep the narrative simple and clean because the primary goal of the initial pitch is to secure a second meeting with the investor. Trying to include the entire story in the first presentation can dilute the critical points and make it difficult for the investor to follow.
  • Entrepreneurs sometimes communicate using complicated words or technical language that the audience may not understand. They may also focus on explaining features that are not crucial to the investor’s decision-making process. This can lead to confusion and misunderstandings that could hinder the success of the pitch.

Where to reach them:

One of the ground rules to secure an investment from any investor is to convince them that there is a significant problem that needs to be solved and that solving this problem is worth enough money.
