“Get Backed” might be the best book ever written on the development and usage of the business pitch deck and Evan Loomis, one of the co-authors, will be our guest for a virtual conversation for one of our Lunch and Learn programs during the month of May.

From the jacket of the book, “In Get Backed, Evan Baehr and Evan Loomis – two veterans of the startup world – will show you how to create a compelling pitch deck and how to plan and execute a fundraising road show that will win financial support for your business.”

The authors of this Harvard Business Review Press book have been featured on Facebook Live, touted by TechStars, and are being shared in B-Schools throughout the nation.
