A pitch deck that lands.
Most decks lose the investor by slide four. Jamie reviews yours slide by slide, and the model behind it cell by cell, until each one answers the question an investor is actually asking at that moment. From the person who has sat through more than 150 rounds and £130M raised alongside founders.

No ask
How much, for what, to reach which milestone, and what happens after

Built it. Lost it.
Built it again.
I've raised venture capital for my own companies and £130M alongside founders across more than 150 funding rounds, and advised over 350 business owners. I started in my family's restaurant at ten.
In 2018 I lost a business. I moved my family to Spain and rebuilt from nothing. The people I work with get someone who has made the expensive mistakes already.
The record.

What people said.
Word for word. Some names left out: discretion is part of the work.
“Working with Jamie changed our whole trajectory and growth.”
“I worked with Jamie on our funding round. Excellent results.”
“This has been a brilliant service, we fixed some fundamental problems with the narrative and the output was fantastic. Highly recommend working with Jamie.”
“I chose to partner with [Jamie's team] as they have a proven track record in ensuring that those who commence or complete fundraising actually achieve it.”
“Jamie, you don't talk about your services ever, they are really great, and can help lots of people.”
“The best pitch deck I've ever seen.”
Questions founders ask.
What should a pitch deck include?
The problem, your answer, proof that customers want it, the market, how you make money, traction, the team, competition, the ask, use of funds, milestones and why now. Twelve slides, in that order, each answering one question.
How long should a pitch deck be?
Ten to fourteen slides for the version you send, with an appendix for detail. Investors read a sent deck for under four minutes on average, so the first four slides carry the decision.
Do you write the deck for me?
Jamie reviews and rebuilds with you rather than writing from scratch: the deck has to be yours when you are in the room. If you have nothing yet, the structure and a working session get you to a first draft within a week.
Do you review financial models too?
Yes, and it is usually where the raise is won or lost. The model is checked cell by cell for assumptions, use of funds and the numbers investors test first.
