Get Backed is a step-by-step guide for crafting a story, building a deck, and launching a venture. It's a handbook for anyone who has an idea and needs to build relationships to get it off the ground. Co-authors @Evan Baehr and @Evan Loomis show what they and dozens of others did to raise money—mistakes included—while sharing the secrets of the world’s best storytellers, fundraisers, and startup accelerators. They teach “the friendship loop”, a step-by-step process that can be used to initiate and build relationships with anyone, from investors to potential co-founders. [1]
"This book combines the best knowledge and experience out there in a single volume to give you the playbook for creating [your @pitch deck]." ~ @Naval Ravikant, CEO of @AngelList
“Anyone who comes to pitch on @Shark Tank should read this book first!” ~ Barbara Corcoran
Get Backed was recommended to me by @Max Baumann as a "must-read" for anyone fundraising and—having read, highlighted, notated, and re-read—I can say that's a massive understatement.
