Webinar: Crafting a compelling pitch deck and fundraising 101

Date: 20 October 2026, 12:00-14:00 SAST
This practical workshop will help founders understand what venture capital investors look for and translate their startup idea into a clear, credible pitch deck. The main focus will be on building an effective investor narrative, selecting supporting evidence, and avoiding common presentation mistakes.

The session will begin with a short overview of how venture capital works, when it is an appropriate funding route, and how investment stages shape investor expectations. Then, we will explore how investors assess opportunities, including the importance of market potential, traction, team, business model, and potential returns. The workshop's core will then guide participants through the structure of a compelling pitch deck. Sample slides will illustrate what strong presentations do well and where founders commonly lose investor interest.
