“The goal of the pitch deck is not to answer every question than an investor might have, but to quickly make me understand why an opportunity is special,” Ben Hoxie, our Associate, told #FinAccelerate2024, Jones Day’s well-regarded accelerate program for #fintech companies, in October. “Different companies have different super powers, so they should be highlighting different things in their pitch decks,” he added. At the event, Ben shared a wealth of advice on how founders should craft their pitch decks and sharpen their messaging when trying to raise funds from #venturecapital firms. A few takeaways: 💡 Give sufficient context to the problem you are trying to solve 🗃 Be ready to engage in diligence, meaning that you should make sure your data room and documents are in order 📖 Share engaging stories about your journey as a founder because investors prioritize founder-market fit when assessing investment opportunities ⛳ Don’t bury the lead A big thank you to Jones Day for having us as a part of your #accelerator program three years in a row! We are super honored and excited to help grow the #innovation ecosystem across the Bay Area and beyond.   Stay tuned for more #fundraising tips! #pitchdeck #technology #FinAccelerate

The #mortgage landscape today is almost unrecognizable from its beginnings, which can be traced back to the 5th century B.C when King Artaxerxes ruled Persia.

In our latest newsletter, we look at some of the most innovative venture-backed mortgage solutions providers and explain why interest rates aren’t the whole story in the growing appeal of #proptech investments. With the integration of #AI and other cutting-edge technology, proptech has become a dynamic field that are transforming the ways properties are developed, bought, sold and managed.
