"Well-led seminar with useful insights. Informative and with humor.""It was really great to discuss pitch decks from real founders instead of just talking about some examples."
"I found the online Pitch Deck session very helpful and full of insights. Great job at driving home the purpose of the deck, the art of being concise, and building a smart conclusion chain. I have no complaints - it was tough, but I liked [the] hard-hitting honesty and the opportunity to experience it in a group. Great safe space for constructive feedback!"
