Pitch Decks That Work: A Live Workshop with Claire Macmillan

​Most pitch decks lose investors in less than two minutes––not because the idea is weak, but because they lack a clear, compelling story. A story that makes investors want to know more.

​Join Claire Macmillan, a former criminal barrister who learned the art of storytelling in courtrooms before spending years inside the Bay Area venture ecosystem. Over the past decade, she has helped hundreds of founders collectively raise over $1B across stages, from pre-seed to Series D.

​In this live workshop, Claire will break down what makes a pitch deck memorable: what to include, what to leave out, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls. You’ll walk away with clear frameworks, practical tips, and real-world insight into how to make your story land.

​This session is especially useful for founders heading into Series A, but packed with takeaways for every stage.

​If you'd like the opportunity for your deck to be reviewed by Claire live during the session, please submit a link to it when you sign up.
