Show Notes
Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast
In this episode, I’m joined by David Pugh, founder of Scrub the Deck and an expert in helping founders and entrepreneurs get investment.
David’s journey began in 2007 after he graduated from university and became a graphic designer. His career was successful, but he took the leap and began freelancing when he wanted more time to spend on his music.
His solo endeavours took a while to take off, but when they did, he realised he had the right experience and network to help entrepreneurs secure investment through well-designed and structured pitch decks.
Join us in this episode as David shares his 18-point perfect pitch structure and his insights into exactly how you can land the right investment.
