Are you creating a Pitch Deck for your idea, products, or services but getting stuck?
You are not alone.
There are many books, templates, and programs that show you how to create a Pitch Deck.
But turning your knowledge into a strategic presentation file that drives action can be challenging, especially for new and small businesses that still don’t have an established brand and market credibility.
Even seasoned entrepreneurs and executive leaders with years of experience find it challenging to complete all the slides on their own.
That’s because Pitch Decks require different skill sets, including presentation strategy, content, and design.
Your Pitch Deck strategy will need to address your project or business plan, including market research and analysis, implementation strategy, key metrics, and goals. Before you ask people to join you on your project or business journey, you need to let them know where you are going. So, your presentation needs to answer all the questions and objections your audiences can have before they even ask.
Your Pitch Deck content needs to flow like a continuous story starting with an engaging problem story and how you plan to solve it. The content needs to be concise and easy to understand. So, you’ll have to communicate and validate your story using a few short sentences.
Your Pitch Deck slide design needs to be clear, clean, and scannable. That’s because your audience will subconsciously pre-judge you, your business, and your solutions based on your slide design. So, you’ll need to find ways to declutter your slides and use data visualization to convey a clear message.
Finding one person who excels in all three skills is very rare. That’s why creating a Pitch Deck usually requires a team effort.
Show Your Audience What’s in It FOR Them!
Another reason Pitch Decks can be challenging is because of the audience allocation. Your Pitch Deck needs to convey your ideas and solutions to three different audiences, not one.
1. Investor Communication
Messaging to fund or finance your project, including budget approval or funding from your leadership team, investors, lending institutions, government, or non-profit organizations. Investors and funding agents want to know if you are credible and if your solutions can deliver a return on investment.
2. Market Communication
Messaging for potential clients, customers, affiliates, sponsors, vendors, and suppliers.
Your market wants to know if your solutions are worth their time and money.
3. Internal Communication
Messaging for full-time or part-time partners, employees, or contractors. Your teams want to know your vision and goals so they can help you bring your vision into reality.
Training Is Not Enough.
You Need Feedback and Support.
After working on hundreds of Pitch Decks over the past 20 years and helping my clients generate over $500 million in funding and sales, I got hands-on experience creating effective Pitch Decks that build instant brand credibility and drive action.
I also witnessed firsthand how challenging it is for many people to identify and communicate their market needs, explain and validate their solutions, and guide their audience to a clear call to action.
I watched and learned as many of my established corporate clients would go back and forth with their leadership team, industry advisors, and strategic consultants to refine their Pitch Deck content.
Based on feedback, they sometimes changed their Pitch Deck storyboard, content, and design. Sometimes they would ditch the entire project because the numbers and data in the Pitch Deck did not add up. The Pitch Deck helped them identify early on if their project was worth their time and money.
But Here’s the Thing... Most People Don’t Have That Executive Team to Help Them.
And they don’t have the time and resources to figure everything out on their own. That’s why many people find Pitch Decks challenging.
They need feedback with a fresh and unbiased perspective to evaluate if their Pitch Deck story will make sense to a new audience.
Plus, they need specialized support to assess and address possible strategy, content, and design issues before sharing their Pitch Deck with their audiences.
Attending the Pitch deck workshop will allow you to collaborate and work in a productive and supportive environment so that you can focus and get your pitch deck done! It's like having an advisory board that will give you live feedback and support.
You'll get to remove distractions and focus on a high-level activity that can help you clarify and communicate your ideas and solutions quickly and confidently.

Here's what some of my recent clients had to say...
Hwayda is truly a brilliant professional! She knows exactly what the market is looking for and how to create a pitch deck and framework that speaks to that audience. Hwayda helped me a great deal in developing the right message and structure for our pitch deck. She was extremely patient and very supportive. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional to carry their mission forward.
C. Fioravanti, MAD Energy
Creating a pitch deck for a new proprietary technology solution with multiple use cases and revenue streams was challenging. Hwayda helped us simplify our story and construct a focused pitch deck that conveyed our integrated value proposition. She also helped us with content research, industry terminology, and slide design. The final product was a customized, modern, and professional pitch deck that helped us get more funding and find new industry partners.
A. Panknin, Pixtunes
Hwayda understands what produces a buyer. She knows how to structure the presentation so the problem being solved is well defined and agitated, then the value of the solution is built up, an irresistible offer is made, and reinforced with guarantees / testimonials. This is where you'll get the most value from her work; it makes you money.
M. Lloyd, Scale Fast
