Donna Griffit, the Corporate Storyteller, joins Karen Rands on the Compassionate Capitalist Show to discuss the art and science of pitching investors. They delve into the essential elements of a pitch deck, including the vision statement, passion, product description, and founder story as the hook. The conversation also explores the importance of creating FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) among investors, the differences between online and in-person pitching, and the nuances of pitching to male investors as a woman.

Donna Griffit’s expertise as a storyteller has aided numerous Fortune 500 companies, startups, and investors in raising over a billion dollars. Her insights on raising capital for female founders have gained recognition in Forbes, and she is listed among the top 100 tech and business women speakers by The Next Web.

Four takeaways:

1. Pitching investors involves a combination of art and science, requiring excellent presentation skills, knowledge of numbers, and the ability to create FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
2. A compelling pitch deck should include a vision statement, passion, a clear product description, and a demonstration within a user story.
3. Online and in-person pitching may have different dynamics and considerations that should be taken into account.
4. The startup scene still faces a gender disparity, with a small percentage of investor funding going to female-led companies, highlighting the need to address this imbalance.
