Unpopular Opinion: Decks don’t close deals. Conversations do. Decks are useful. But if you think they’re what convince investors - you’re missing the point. I’ve seen well-designed decks go nowhere… and I’ve seen half-baked ones lead to 7-figure raises. Why? Because it’s not about the format. It’s about the founder’s clarity and conviction. What investors really want to know: Do you deeply understand the user? Is your thinking original or copy-pasted? Can you execute with urgency and focus? A deck can show some of that. But a real conversation proves it. Decks are the door. Your voice is what gets you inside.

The founder’s real job isn’t chasing trends. It’s noticing the inefficiency everyone else tolerates.

No one tells you this about building a business: It’s not the big failures that break you. It’s the tiny daily doubts that pile up. The founder’s job? Push through them , every single day.

Founders, don’t send your deck first. I’ve helped founders raise crores. The most painful mistake? Sending the deck too early. A deck is NOT an invitation. It’s a confirmation. > Investors don’t open cold PDFs. They open conversations. Instead:

Great UI/UX isn’t just seen… it’s felt. It’s not just about looks. It’s about how it makes you feel when you use it. What was the last app you used that made you say, “Wow, this is smooth!”?

Not every day feels like a startup story. Some days it feels like: Suppliers not picking up calls. Investors ghosting. Friends not understanding what you are building. At 16, I realized entrepreneurship isn’t always about pitch decks or logos. It’s
