Brand like a boss: make your pitch deck unforgettable

​This session is exclusively for The Pitch 2026 finalists.

​The Pitch - powered by SeedLegals - is the UK and Ireland's largest pitch competition connecting UK founders with expert mentors, potential investors, unrivalled networking, and prizes worth up to £25k!

​If you want the chance to access this mentoring, you must apply for this year's competition - applications are open until December 1st, 2025.

​Your pitch deck is more than just slides - it’s the first impression investors have of your startup. 

​A clear, compelling, and memorable deck can capture attention, communicate vision, and make your raise easier - while a weak one risks getting lost in the crowd.

​Join mentor and branding expert, Katrien Grobler, to learn how to craft a visually striking, story-driven pitch deck that resonates with investors. 

​You’ll leave with practical tips to clarify your message, highlight your value, and make your startup unforgettable, ensuring your pitch stands out from the rest.
