Fund managers, it’s time to ditch the pitch deck of doom. It’s not helping you differentiate. It’s putting allocators to sleep.

Take it from Lucy Walker, Founder of data platform AM Insights, who spent the bulk of her career as a manager of managers allocating over $1B at specialist firm Sarasin Partners in the UK.

She knows this business inside and out, and today she’s sharing her wisdom on up-leveling your meeting game so you can land more investments.

Listen in as she and Stacy discuss:

· Her backstory – from corporate allocation to launching her company

· Inside the mind of a fund-buyer: what makes a fund manager stand out to her

· Why you should dig into data but not use it as a crutch in meetings

· The competitor bashing Achilles heel – how to show your differences to the peer group tastefully
