Pitch Deck Expert | Fundraising Strategist | Investor Communications

Hi, I'm Diana 👋 I’m a startup accelerator founder and VC partner with 8 years of experience helping founders build their pitch decks, and raise funds from angel investors and VCs. My work has helped raise over $50M for tech startups across the US, Europe, and the MENA region. I’ve built over 100 pitch decks, helped develop startup ecosystems, and was named Forbes 30 Under 30 for this work. View my portfolio below, or send me a message if you have any questions. Excited to talk! --- My full pitch: It’s a pleasure to meet you! Most of my clients choose to work with me because of my creative ways of presenting their business, strong analytical skills, industry connections, and my killer team. Over the past 8 years, I’ve dedicated my time to helping founders succeed. I learned everything I know by working at The Founder Institute, where I’m now a mentor, and by building my own startup accelerator. Through it, I’ve helped over 200 startups, worked with more than 100 investors, and in less than two years became a finalist at the Central European Startup Awards. In the past 4 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with startups from 20+ countries, helping them position their rounds, build their investment cases, and find the right investors. This work has also allowed me to travel extensively and meet investors across different ecosystems. Working with over 300 startups, and investing in some of them myself, has given me exposure to a wide range of industries, including: - Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning - SaaS & B2B Software - FinTech & Payments - PropTech & Real Estate Tech - HealthTech & Digital Health - Biotech & Life Sciences - Cybersecurity & Infrastructure - ClimateTech & Sustainability - E-commerce & Marketplaces - Media, Creator Economy & Digital Platforms - Web3, Blockchain & Digital Assets When you work with me on Upwork, you receive pitch decks, financial models, or investment strategies, along with clear guidance on how to use them to move your fundraising forward and close your round. I work with startups because I love helping people with great visions succeed. I enjoy seeing how founders develop their ideas, following their journey, and at the same time building my own path as an entrepreneur. I sincerely look forward to building a great project together, as I’ve done for many others. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
