The Investor Pitch voice
The voice of founder bios written for investor decks — confident, achievement-stacked, fluff-free.
Signature. Achievement-stacked but unsentimental. The voice trusts that the investor will recognize the signal in the named credentials and the named outcomes. Adjective-light, verb-led.
