Pitch Deck Review with Yoko Okano, First Row Partners

Most pitch deck advice is generic. This isn't.

For one hour, you'll watch a seasoned VC open up two real founders' actual pitch decks - slide by slide - and react the way she would in a real partner meeting. No hypotheticals, no polished "after" version. Just an honest, live teardown of decks that are out in the world right now.

The VC: Yoko Okano is the Founding Partner of First Row Partners, a women-led pre-seed firm in Seattle backing tech startups that empower individuals through technology. A former Google product leader and Stanford grad, she writes some of the first checks into companies and has seen countless decks from both sides of the table. She invests at the earliest, hardest stage to fund - where the story matters as much as the numbers.

What you'll get:

• A live, slide-by-slide review of two real early-stage decks

• What a VC actually looks for - and what makes them lose interest

• The difference between a slide that "works" and one that raises questions

• Open Q&A: bring your own deck questions and pitch challenges

Whether you're actively fundraising, refining your story, or just want to understand how investors really read a deck, this is a rare look behind the curtain.
