From Deck To Deal: A Clear Fundraising Roadmap

How To Build Investor Belief With The Right Story, Structure And Sequencing

Jul 31, 2025
∙ Paid

Welcome back to Changemakers, the newsletter for founders, storytellers and operators building the next generation of impact-led ventures.

In this edition, I’m sharing a step-by-step guide to help you raise investment with clarity and confidence. From mapping your investor landscape to writing cold outreach and structuring a story-led deck, this is the exact process I use with climate, science and nature-tech founders every week.

If you're preparing to raise in Q4 or Q1, we have two slots remaining for our success-fee pitch development service in September. So get in touch with your deck to see if you are a fit. See the pitch development process here.

Today’s Topics..

→ How to map your investor landscape and outreach strategy
→ Email and messaging tactics that get responses
→ Structuring teaser decks and full decks that win belief
→ Building trust through process: calls, follow-ups, data rooms
→ This month’s offers and support opportunities
