See, I mean, my biggest issue with brand-new startups is they haven't defined the problem that they're solving.

One of the areas that we have found that are really lacking in pitch decks, and pitches in general, is number one, how is your investment going to get you to the stage where you can get more money at a higher valuation? That's what every investor wants to see.

I don't wanna put my money in and then have you sitting here six months ago n- from now saying, "I need more money," and you haven't moved the needle.

So I need to know how my money is gonna move the needle.

And secondly, I need to know that you're investor-ready.

I need to know that you've got all your ducks in a row.

You've got an accounting system.

Is there an ideal length? Is there an ideal number of slides? [laughs]
