Curastory Deck Breakdown

Hey Persuaders!

Today, I want to look at this deck from Curastory, which was used to raise $2M in seed funding in 2021.

Instead of analyzing this deck slide by slide, I want you to focus on the overall narrative tone and story of the deck. This deck is one of the best I’ve seen at applying the narrative style and tone that I teach.

So focus on the narrative interwoven throughout the deck, how it tells a story, takes you on a journey and makes you WANT to click on to the next slide to learn more.

The loudest voices in the room aren’t always the best-informed.

Where can you find balanced and informative news without clickbait polarization?
