Listen Later

When you’re a startup, asking for money is complicated. So complicated that in recent years a cottage industry has formed with the specific purpose of helping companies go out for rounds.
Here to tell us about it is Zach Grosser, founder & CEO of Zacht Studios, a presentation design agency that’s worked with clients like Nextdoor, Square, Adobe, Dropbox, among others. Zach and his team help companies prepare for the most important (and oftentimes, most secretive) presentation they’ll ever give. Today we peel back the curtains, asking questions like: 
How big should the font on your fundraising deck be? What’s it like working with Elon Musk? How has the pandemic changed the way companies fundraise? 
Join us in finding out the answers to these and much more in this week’s episode.
Highlights include: 
-What is a presentation design studio? 
-Are most presentation designers in-house? How do you hire a presentation designer? 
-How has COVID changed the way startups go out for fundraising rounds? 
-What is it like running a global business during BREXIT?
