> People value what they currently possess more than what they don’t yet own. We’re more motivated by potential losses than potential gains. For example, a majority of people will exert more effort to prevent the loss of $10,000 than to acquire $10,000 because the satisfaction lost is more overpowering than the satisfaction gained with the same amount.

> The first thing that catches your eye clearly is **the minimalistic design**. There are no complicated backgrounds, animations, or illustrations. Just a light background and text. Nothing distracts from the content. Nothing should.

> \
> Psychologically, it is easier to make the reader focus on the things he needs to be focused on. In investment Pitch Decks, it's the numbers. And there will be numbers, lots of numbers.
