The investor pitch

The investor pitch runs on three of your six stories, plus the Context Bridge, in a specific order.

Three of the six, plus the Bridge

The Origin opens, at about sixty seconds, because the meeting’s first silent question, before any number, is why are you the one doing this. Then the Context Bridge follows immediately: why now, the timing argument, so the room understands the window before you describe the future. Impact carries the middle, because traction stated as a narrative outlasts traction stated as a slide; a number wrapped in a story is remembered, a number alone is not. And Vision closes, because the final impression should be the future they are being offered a share of. Purpose threads through all of it. One thing about the deck: the deck is not the story, it is the evidence the story refers to. The strongest meetings treat it that way, the founder talks and the slides corroborate, rather than the founder reading the slides aloud. Sequence is strategy. Which stories, in which order, is the pitch.

A completely different room needs a completely different sequence. The sales conversation.
