Проходил этот курс перед первым раундом привлечения инвестиций и был приятно удивлён, насколько структурировано подан материал. Особенно понравилось, как разбирают построение питч-нарратива — не просто шаблон слайдов, а логика убеждения инвестора шаг за шагом. Отдельный блок про то, как ориентироваться в переговорах с ранними инвесторами, оказался неожиданно полезным, там реально разбирают тонкости, о которых обычно молчат. Темп подачи комфортный, можно пересматривать сложные моменты без потери нити. После курса я переписал свою презентацию почти с нуля, и она стала звучать намного убедительнее.

Materinya jelas banget buat pemula yang mau belajar bikin pitch deck, walau bagian tentang term sheet-nya menurutku agak terburu-buru.
Penjelasan pitch deck-nya sangat mudah dipahami!
실제 투자자 미팅에서 나올 법한 질문들을 미리 짚어줘서 도움이 많이 됐는데, 초반 개념 설명이 조금 빠르게 지나가는 느낌이었어요.
Empecé este curso sin ninguna idea de cómo estructurar un pitch para inversores y ahora me siento mucho más seguro. La forma en que desglosan la narrativa del pitch, paso a paso, hace que todo parezca menos intimidante. También me gustó mucho la parte sobre cómo prepararse para las preguntas difíciles de los inversores, algo que no había visto explicado tan claramente en otro lado. El ritmo es perfecto para alguien que recién empieza, ni muy lento ni abrumador. Ya estoy aplicando lo aprendido para armar la presentación de mi propia startup.
Yatırımcı görüşmelerine ilk kez hazırlanan biri için tam doğru başlangıç oldu. Pitch hikâyesini nasıl kuracağımı, hangi sayıları öne çıkaracağımı net şekilde öğrendim. Özellikle yatırımcının sorabileceği zor sorulara hazırlık kısmı çok değerliydi ve kendime güvenim arttı. Değerleme konusunu biraz daha derinlemesine işleseydi tam olurdu ama yine de erken aşama için son derece faydalı buldum. Yeni başlayanlara gönül rahatlığıyla öneririm.
Solid intro, wished the pitch section went deeper.
Llegué sin saber nada sobre rondas pre-seed y salí con una idea clara de cómo armar mi narrativa de pitch. La parte de cómo estructurar la historia para que el inversor se enganche desde el primer minuto fue lo que más me sirvió. También me ayudaron mucho los consejos para no ponerme nervioso en las reuniones con inversores. Me hubiera gustado un poco más de detalle sobre las cláusulas legales del SAFE, pero igual aprendí muchísimo. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que esté buscando su primer capital.
Pre-seed yatırım sürecine hiç aşina değildim ama bu kurs sayesinde yatırımcılarla nasıl konuşacağımı gerçekten öğrendim.
초기 스타트업 투자 유치를 처음 준비하는 사람한테 딱 맞는 강의인데, 후반부 밸류에이션 설명은 조금 더 자세했으면 좋았을 것 같아요.
The way they break down the pitch narrative into a simple story arc made the whole fundraising process feel way less scary.
Kurs świetnie tłumaczy jak zbudować spójną narrację do pitcha, krok po kroku. Podobało mi się też, że pokazują prawdziwe przykłady rozmów z inwestorami, a nie tylko suchą teorię. Polecam każdemu, kto szykuje się do pierwszej rundy finansowania.
