Life is hard. But at least good PowerPoint slides (little text/data, simple visual) are easier to build than bad PowerPoint slides (full of text/data, graphs, footnotes, animations). If that doesn't give you hope, I don't know what will.

Seriously people, doing a pitch presentation in public and e-mailing a slide deck are two completely different use cases. If you use the same slides for both of them, you're fucking up. And no, you can't do a hybrid. That just means the slides suck for both use cases!

Pitching to a room with 100 investors. Outcome 1: 100 investors think "Hm, that was a good startup." Outcome 2: 95 investors think "I hate this startup." 5 investors think "I love this startup." Outcome 2 is better. Don't try to appeal to everyone!

Investors read hundreds of pitches every month. Why will they jump on a call with you right away?

Where were you when you first heard about the BUTT FUNNEL concept? I rarely have my mind blown by ideas, but the Butt Funnel really makes me believe human beings can achieve anything. (Yes, you should google this. Yes, you should do it cautiously - especially the image search!)

If you have anybody between 16 and 25 years old in your life that may in the future do any kind of “knowledge work”…buy them this book. Now. They’ll be grateful to you forever.

Investors hear and read hundreds of pitches every month. Why will they tell their colleagues about yours?

Investors "listen to" and "read" hundreds of pitches every month. Why will they actually LISTEN TO and READ yours?

Imagine pitching your startup to a VC, and you impress them so much that they liquidate all their investments and go ALL IN on you. Would never happen, right? So why would you do this to yourself? Be like a VC for your own ideas. Diversify your income streams.

zur demokratischen Fairness gehört auch, dass man feststellt, dass es trotz Merz und Söder noch viele Unterschiede zwischen Union und AfD gibt, zB die Farben oder das Logo

How was Bairstow to know the rules? Here is literally the exact same Jonny Bairstow attempting the exact same thing 48 hours earlier Crucial differences; Marnus knew the rules and got back Bairstow couldn’t hit the stumps This #spiritOfTheGame faux outrage is hilarious

Were the organizers of #FIFAWWC fucking high when they planned the venues for the group stage, or was it a FIFA mandate to produce as much CO2 as possible? Only two reasons why 6 games in Group H would ever be played in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide!

Bester Dopingtest meines Lebens 🔥

Mein Bundestrainer ist vielleicht ein bisschen fertig, aber entlassen wurde er heute sicher nicht...

Wollte mir gerade im Hermès Flagship Store am Ku’damm eine neue Birkin Bag kaufen, aber da sitzen 300.000 abgelehnte Asylbewerber, schlürfen Schampus und haben alle eine bekommen. Und wir deutschen Bürger stehen draußen vor dem Schaufenster und kriegen nicht mal einen Jutebeutel.

Yes. And it’s called saving lives.

Nicely summarized, Johan! What a fun event, with interesting people, and lots of Kinnie! Until next time! 🇲🇹🚀
