Sebastian Scheplitz
Founder & CEO, Shepard&Young
I've built and exited two companies: a marketing agency and an AI SaaS platform. I've pitched on three continents and advised 50+ startups across the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
Today I'm a mentor at Ignyte, FRWRDx, and VC4A. I created Deckmetric because I was tired of seeing great founders fail due to fixable pitch mistakes.

What Founders Say
Real results from real strategy sessions
"Sebastian's session was worth 10x what I paid. He identified the exact weakness in my narrative that was causing investor hesitation. Two weeks later, I closed my seed round."
"I came in thinking my deck was 80% ready. Sebastian showed me it was actually 40% ready - and more importantly, showed me exactly how to fix it. Best investment I made in my fundraise."
"After months of 'interesting but not for us' responses, Sebastian helped me reframe my entire narrative. The very next pitch resulted in a term sheet."
