Your Deck Isn't Telling Your Story
Most founders know their company inside out but can't articulate it in 10 slides. The result: VCs close the deck before they ever get to your traction.
WHAT VCS SEE NOW
Jargon-heavy descriptions that don't explain what you actually do. Traction buried on slide 11. A $50B TAM from Google. "We have no competition." A vague ask. No milestones. Mission statements nobody asked for.
WHAT VCS SEE AFTER THE SPRINT
A clear one-sentence description. Traction front and center by slide 4. Bottom-up market math. An honest competition table. A specific ask with milestones. A story that makes the VC want to forward your deck.
What You Get in 90 Minutes
This is a live, deck-specific review. We work through each slide together and I tell you what needs to change and why. You leave with direction you can use to revise the deck.
Narrative teardown and revision plan
I walk through your deck the way a VC reads it, tell you what I am thinking at each slide, then we decide what to reorder, cut, and move to the appendix.
Slide-level narrative direction
We identify where the problem needs to feel more visceral, how to show founder-market fit, and what each headline and metric should communicate.
Traction Positioning
Most founders undersell their traction or bury it. I'll show you which numbers to lead with, how to frame early-stage metrics, and where they need to live in the deck to pass the 90-second scan.
Market Sizing Math
We discuss how to calculate your market size in a way you can defend. No more Statista screenshots.

This is For You If:
✅ You have a deck but it's not getting responses
✅ You've gotten vague feedback and don't know what to fix
✅ You're pre-seed or seed stage
✅ You're about to start fundraising and want to get it right the first time
✅ You want direct, honest feedback from someone who's been on the other side
✅ You'd rather fix it in 90 minutes than iterate for 3 months
This is Not For You If:
You do not have a draft deck yet: start with the free template
You need a full deck, traction, and investor-targeting diagnostic
You're still figuring out the core idea
You need someone to build the full raise for you
Need More Than a Sprint?
If you want hands-on help building your full raise, from deck to investor list and outreach, Full Build may be a better fit. For a broader assessment first, see the One-Week Raise Diagnostic.
Founders Who Locked Their Story
“Vicki completely restructured our story. We went from zero responses to 8 meetings in 5 weeks.”
A.M. - Seed stage founder, Edtech, $1.2M raised
“In 3 months of pitching we received an offer and got acquired. Highly recommend Vicki.”
P.P. - Pre-seed stage founder, Mental health, Acquired by Series B Competitor
“Vicki knows exactly what VCs want to see.”
K.S. - Seed stage founder, Sports tech, $2.2M raised
“We were very fortunate to work with Vicki. Getting acquired would not have happened without her.”
P.B. - Pre-seed stage founder, Nuclear tech, Acquired by listed company
-
Yes. Bring a draft deck, even if it is rough. We will review it slide by slide and map the changes to make next. If you are starting from an idea without a deck, a Founder Hour is a better first step for your questions about the raise.
-
This is not design work. It’s narrative and strategy: story clarity, slide priorities, targeting logic, and meeting conversion. If you need full build support, apply for BUILD or VIP.
-
Send whatever you have: deck draft, notes, traction metrics, product overview, and any investor feedback. If you’re early, we’ll use validation and proof points instead of revenue.
-
Usually within 1–2 weeks depending on calendar availability. If you’re on a tight runway, mention it when booking and we’ll prioritize if possible.
-
No. What I can do is materially improve what you control: deck narrative, targeting, outreach messaging, and pitch readiness—so you get higher-quality meetings and clearer investor responses.
-
Sometimes, where there’s strong fit (stage/traction/thesis). Intros are never guaranteed. The goal is to make your story convert in any investor conversation.
-
Reschedules are allowed with 24 notice. Because time is reserved and preparation is involved, refunds are typically not offered once a session is booked inside the notice window.
Stop iterating. Lock it.
