Who reviews your deck?
I've been on both sides of the table: building businesses, pitching ideas, and evaluating opportunities as an advisor and investor. I know what makes a business case compelling, where assumptions fall apart, and what questions investors are likely to ask.
I personally read every deck and write every review.
What you get
What founders say
The end result was that we won the AI Forge pitching competition and were placed in front of several investors.
Tolga is professional and experienced. He has a good eye for detail and was able to quickly understand our offering. When looking at fundraising, Tolga spent a lot of time reviewing our decks and looking at ways that we could improve our messaging, either by providing illustrative images or punchier text, with a focus on telling a coherent story. The end result was that we won the AI Forge pitching competition and were placed in front of several investors, and we have Tolga to thank for that. I would be happy to work with him if the opportunity arose again.
Tolga has a real ability to look at an investor deck from the perspective of the person actually being asked to invest.
Tolga has a real ability to look at an investor deck from the perspective of the person actually being asked to invest. His feedback is direct, commercially grounded and focused on the questions that matter: what is the opportunity, where is the evidence, what is missing, and what would make the story more compelling to an investor. His input has helped me challenge assumptions, sharpen the way we communicate ONDA+® and think much more critically about what investors will need to see as we prepare to raise.
He found logical gaps in our story and helped it flow more easily. His suggestions were actionable, not vague.
Tolga’s review went beyond slide feedback. He found logical gaps in our story and helped it flow more easily, challenged how we positioned the B2B and consumer sides of Richify, and flagged the questions investors would ask. His suggestions were actionable, not vague. Very useful before investor conversations.
He knows how to challenge the bigger picture while also paying close attention to the details that make a pitch convincing.
Tolga has been incredibly supportive throughout the journey of building Arete Career. From the early stages of shaping our business, he has consistently taken the time to understand what we are trying to achieve and provided thoughtful, detailed, and practical advice tailored to our specific challenges.
What makes his feedback particularly valuable is his ability to see a business from multiple perspectives. Drawing on his experience as an investor, entrepreneur, and corporate professional, he knows how to challenge the bigger picture while also paying close attention to the details that make a pitch convincing.
His guidance has helped us refine not only how we communicate our business to potential investors, but also how we think about our strategy and long-term growth.
Fundraising is ultimately about more than having a polished deck. It’s about being able to communicate a compelling business opportunity, backed by clear reasoning and evidence. Tolga understands this exceptionally well.
Having experienced firsthand the depth of his commitment and the value of his advice, I have every confidence that the same expertise and dedication will help many other founders strengthen their businesses and tell their stories more effectively.

Confidentiality is built into our terms, so there's no separate NDA to sign. Your deck and videos are used only for your review and deleted 90 days after delivery.
I review every deck myself, and the judgement and the comments are mine.
If the review misses the mark, tell me what didn't help within 7 days. I'll revise it at no cost. If it still doesn't help, I'll refund the review fee in full. One per customer.
Questions
No. I comment on content, story and visuals, and suggest rewrites for key slides. You keep control of your deck and your design.
No one honestly can. The review helps you make your strongest case to the audience you're pitching.
PDF is best. PowerPoint and Keynote exports are fine, or share a link from Google Drive or Canva.
A 5-minute brief tells me what you're trying to achieve, and a 5-minute run-through shows how the story sounds when you present it. Both make the review sharper. They're optional, and two short videos are plenty.
Tick either one on the form when you send your brief. You can also add a re-review later, within 30 days of delivery, from the link in your review email or the re-review page. You only send the revised deck and a short note on what you changed, and you get written comments within 3 working days. One re-review covers one revised version of the same deck. After paying for a call, you'll get a link to book a time.
AI tools help me speed up first-pass analysis and drafting, like any other tool. I read every deck myself, and the judgement and the comments in your review are mine. I use AI tools with model training switched off, so they don't learn from your files, and I delete your chats once the review is delivered.
No. It's an experienced operator's view of your pitch, not investment, legal or financial advice.
