Howdy Founder and CEO Jacqueline Samira will share how she successfully secured
$21 million in funding without ever sending a deck.

Are you tired of sending out investor decks only to feel like your message is
lost in the shuffle?

Join us for a webinar with Howdy Founder and CEO Jacqueline Samira, where she’ll
share how she successfully secured $21 million in funding without ever sending a
deck to a single investor.

With over 15 years of experience in driving sales, building exceptional teams,
and significantly boosting revenue across diverse industries, Jacqueline has
mastered the art of sharing a compelling vision without relying on traditional
pitch decks.

Howdy helps U.S. tech companies find and retain the best LATAM software
engineering talent to power successful, diverse long-term tech teams. Their
investors include Y Combinator (W21), Greycroft, and Obvious Ventures.

In the February 1 session, Jacqueline will unveil her unique approach to
communicating your message to venture capitalists, allowing founders to maintain
control of their narrative throughout the fundraising process. Gain valuable
insights on creating a compelling narrative that not only resonates with
investors but has them eager to contribute to your venture even in today’s
economic landscape.

Her webinar will cover:

 * Effective methods for communicating your vision without the reliance on
   traditional decks.
 * The art of creating captivating video pitches, ensuring genuine engagement
   from your audience.
 * The drawbacks of traditional decks and their impact on the accurate
   interpretation of your message.

TESTIMONIALS


IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COHORT GROUP IN SOMETHING LIKE FOUNDERS NETWORK THAT YOU CAN
DEVELOP LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH AND DISCUSS THE SAME TOPICS THAT COME UP
WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING VERY
IMPORTANT.

A VERY HIGH-QUALITY NETWORK THE STRONG AND MORE AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS YOU
BUILD.

DETAILED RESPONSE ON HOW THEY ADDRESSED IT.
