Let’s Learn - What is a pitch deck? Why do so many pitch decks miss the mark? They try to say everything, and investors only have minutes. A great deck has one job: make the next conversation easy to say yes to. Keep it tight, around 10-12 slides, with one idea per slide.

Building a startup alone slows you down. Not because you’re not working hard but because you’re missing the right conversations. We’ll be at AZ Tech Week next Wednesday, April 8 (5:30–7:30 PM) at Roses By The Stairs Brewing in Phoenix. #Startups #AZTechWeek #BuildInPublic

What is retention for startups? Retention measures how well your startup keeps customers coming back and getting value over time. Strong retention can improve revenue, lower pressure on marketing, and give founders a better view into whether people actually want what they are building.

A founder asked what to do first. I think the better starting point is asking what proof the startup needs next. Customer clarity, problem clarity, and offer clarity usually beat a generic checklist. #Startups #Founders #SparkLaunch #SparkScore

Build in public update 🚀 This week at SparkLaunch: • Expanded MCP server APIs • Improved Launchpad UX to guide founders by stage instead of just listing tools Small steps every week toward making startup building easier. What are you building? #buildinpublic #startups #founders

Startups don’t need more noise, they need clarity. LaunchPad brings your startup workflow into one connected workspace, from idea to execution. Built for founders. #startups #founders

Startup funding did not disappear this week. It got more selective. In this SparkLaunch Founder Briefing, we break down where money moved, which cautionary stories mattered, and what the biggest product launches say about the next wave of startup execution. #StartupNews #Founders #SparkLaunch

Watching founders go from idea → action never gets old. We used SparkLaunch to get a startup idea out of our head and into the world fast. No pitch decks. No agencies. Just momentum. If you’re building something and stuck in the 'planning loop', this is your sign.

Weekly Startup News - 2-13-2026 - Founder Briefing Here’s the SparkLaunch “This Week in Startup News,” and what it means if you’re building an early-stage startup right now.

This week in startup news: capital kept chasing infrastructure and workflow tools, while shutdowns reminded founders that hype, users, and backing still do not equal fit. #StartupNews #Founders #Startups #VC

Farmers feed nations, not political narratives. You can disagree on politics without cheering for families to lose their land, homes & livelihoods. When rural communities suffer, everyone feels it at the grocery store & the table! Compassion shouldn’t be partisan! #SheShed #Farmageddon

And, whilst I’m heaping praise on people, the sheer inspiration of hanging out with the Irish trad lot, who play at the world class, is always amazing. These are people who, after playing to thousands, on the same night, will move heaven and earth to find a pub to play tunes in, for free. For fun.

Yes, kickboxing is absolutely awesome. I actually do this in real life. I’ve been doing it since 2005 two things I do when it comes to working out as I tend to swim and I also kick box. 😁 and did you see the post I posted I think it was like yesterday or the day before it looked like this
