Critic reviews

"The Pitch Deck Book is - hands-down - the clearest, simplest, and most concise guide ever written to creating and delivering an effective startup fundraising pitch. Three hours spent reading and applying the lessons in Tim Cooley's book will save you thirty hours of well-meaning-but-ineffective feedback from random advisors. Tim comes from the perspectives of both a founder and an investor, and as the Executive Director of a highly regarded angel group, he is exactly the audience your pitch is aimed at. Founders around the world (not to mention investors who have to sit through awful pitches!) owe him an enormous debt of gratitude." (David S. Rose, "The Pitch Coach", author of The Startup Checklist and Angel Investing, founder of New York Angels)

I was honestly skeptical. After already consuming a dozen books about building a deck or pitching, I didn’t think this would offer much different. I couldn’t stop listening. There was value from start to finish. Highly recommend even if you’ve already built a deck or delivered a pitch, it’s worth it.

A must read for new founders!!!

Excellent book.
Very well read.
Listened to it at 2x and was looking for other books by Tim Cooley about half way through. Sadly no, hopefully soon.

Perfectly put together

An absolute must read (or listen!) for anyone looking to seek funding. This book will help you get all your ducks in a row to present a formidable and confident case to get funded. Very well structured with explanations of relevant terminology which as a newcomer to the world of seeking funding is something I really like over other pitch deck books.

Insightful and Digestible

I found this book incredibly helpful while raising a seed round. It helped me understand what to include in my deck and how to speak to investors.

Great book!

I was impressed with the quality and detail of this book. The dos and donts were very helpful. I didn’t look at the PDFs mentioned toward the end of the book but listening to it I could see what was happening and from the explanations. Thanks for writing it!
