Data Storytelling for Startup Founders 🦄

You are a Startup Founders. Your job is to secure the next funding round. But instead of telling compelling stories, you spend hours fighting with manually updating investor decks every month.

The "Static Slide" Trap

Most Startup Founders fall into a common trap:

  1. Export data to CSV.
  2. Make a chart in Excel.
  3. Copy-paste it into PowerPoint.
  4. Realize the data changed, and repeat the whole process.

This workflow destroys your productivity. By the time you present, your data is dead. It's static. If a stakeholder asks, "What about X?", you can't answer until the next meeting.

A New Way: Interactive Data Stories

Imagine walking into a meeting not with a deck of slides, but with a live, interactive data story. When you show your MRR Growth Waterfall to discuss burn rate and runway, it's not a picture. It's data.

  • Hover to see exact numbers.
  • Filter to deep-dive into specific segments.
  • Click to reveal underlying trends.

This is what Datastripes was built for. It allows Startup Founders to skip the "Excel-to-PPT" hell and go straight from raw data to presentation.
