Your Pitch Deck Is Garbage if You Don't Have a "Why"
Saahil Mehta is the Co-Founder of Resnet World, which helps businesses increase profitability. Your Pitch Deck Is Garbage if You Don't Have a 'Why'. In this interview, angel investor Saahil Mehta shares the story of tearing apart a friend's pitch deck because it was all "what" and "how" but completely missed the founder's "why" . He explains that investors want to see the founder's personal story and the deep purpose that drives them, not just a list of features. Saahil also reveals his unconventional due diligence process, where he takes founders on treks or to escape rooms to get their "mask" to come off and see who they really are outside their comfort zone . Finally, he shares his number one rule for investing: have "no attachment to the investment" and be okay with it going to zero. Check out the company: https://resnetworld.com
