Investors Judge Your Website
According to a study by First Round Capital, 72% of investors say a startup's website significantly influences their investment decision. Your pitch deck gets you the meeting — your website closes it.

3. Professional Design - Modern, clean aesthetics - Consistent brand identity - High-quality imagery and icons - No broken links or typos
