Your pitch deck isn't the problem. You are! You’ve spent weeks obsessing over font sizes and market slides, but your emails are still being ignored. Why? Because you’re treating your pitch deck like a magic wand instead of a wedding invitation. You’re asking for a "marriage" before you’ve even had a first date.

In this episode, I’m stripping away the "founder ego" to show you why Nigerian tech startups are failing the funding test. I’m joined by U.S. finance expert Samuel M. to break down the cold, hard truth: Investors don’t buy documents; they underwrite risk. If you don't show them how you manage that risk, you’ve already lost.

What you will master in this episode:

 * The Conversation-First Framework: Why sending your deck early is killing your deal.

 * Strategic Maturity: How to stop "vomiting" data and start qualifying your investors.

 * Asymmetric Upside: The exact way to position your risk so investors feel "calm."

 * The Art of Targeting: Why the best product in the world fails in the wrong room.

Stop guessing. Start leading.
