New week, new Stonkcast.

In Episode #20, @ali_moiz sits down with @SignalFire Partner @ezelby in order to discuss all things GTM and Growth.

Our favorite excerpt ⏬⏬⏬
"Every startup is a shit show all the time.

I will add what I always tell the founders:
'I know you think that everything looks rosy for all these companies because they're tweeting about everything going perfectly, or you're only seeing the positives in TechCrunch, but know that every company is a sh*t show all the time.'

In the last 12 months, we have reviewed thousands of pitch decks and invested in hundreds of startups.

Here are 7 observations for how the best startups tell their stories that you can use to close your next round of funding:
First, let's start with why a pitch deck is important

Many founders think the pitch deck is used to explain to investors what your company does so they will invest.

This isn't correct.
A pitch deck lands you the meeting with the potential investor.

It's a snippet of what your startup does so the investor can decide if it's worth meeting.

If you meet, then it's your job to tell the story and close.

Where do you even begin to describe the amazing journey @helen_min has been on since she started her marketing role at FaceBook in 2008?

Exactly, you can't put it into words, BUT you can try to capture it in a podcast

Here is a quick taste so you know what you are missing ⏬
Helen is quick to remind listeners that marketing is storytelling

Call it whatever you want as a team, but every company needs to tell a story

Here are some (slightly edited for space) quotes:
On picking where to work:

"People often reference luck and that’s definitely a big part of it. But after a while you start saying 'lightning strikes this many times.'

Today, we’re excited to share more about Stonks’ largest product in our history:

Demo Day Vehicles (DDVs) — a “Stripe-like” Express Checkout for Demo Days now directly integrated into every facet of the Stonks platform and ecosystem. Image
The current flow looked like this:

Founders are stuck using a mash-up of 3rd-party tools to complete these workflows.

It doesn't work well for founders or investors.
The current stack:

Increases friction, hurting conversions.

Takes weeks, not days. Time kills deals.

Fails to strike “while the iron is hot” — when there is a live audience of interested investors.

Unwritten rules are all around us

You don’t walk over the pitcher’s mound in baseball or cry in baseball either

And you never say these five things in a VC Pitch
1) “I am a brand new market; I have no competition”

Even when you’re on the bleeding edge of innovation, someone is in the market and always watching.

Not to mention no competitor = no acquirer
2) “Our market is hundreds of billions of dollars, and we estimate that we will capture 2% of that market in our first three years”

Talk through the strategy from the bottom up and hit ‘em with that TAM, SAM, and SOM, my guy
