About the Founder
I'm David Pugh, founder of Scrub the Deck, and over the last few years I've helped founders like you raise from £100K to £14M.
My secret? My proven Connect & Convince system, created side-by-side with investors, that connects you to the right network and ensures your message is irresistible.
I’m also a speaker, educator, webinar host, and podcast creator dedicated to helping founders get funded and scale.
Our Proven Process
Step 1: Free investment strategy session
This is where your journey begins - a completely free 30-minute session where we give you our full focus and expertise.
We’ll unpack: - Where you are right now - Where you need to go - Why you need funding - and if you’re ready to get it
Warning: We only work with founders we believe in. I need to see your passion, grit, and that we’re the right fit. This isn’t a walk in the park - it takes full commitment from both sides.
But here’s the best part: even if we don’t move forward, you’ll walk away with real insights, actionable strategies, and clarity that will put you ahead of 90% of founders. You have nothing to lose - and everything to gain.
Step 2: The traction spike
This is the fuel we use to grab investors’ attention.
We need to approach investors when your business is HOT - when you’ve just had a breakthrough, a revenue jump, a killer partnership, or any exciting momentum.
No traction spike yet? We’ll create one, showing you proven ways to engineer momentum that makes investors feel like now is the moment to get in - not six months from now.
Step 3: A pitch deck guaranteed to convert
This is your golden ticket.
We specialize in building pitch decks that turn cold, skeptical investors into curious, excited
investors eager to meet you.
Tested, investor-approved formulas
Powerful, persuasive storytelling
Clean, compelling visuals that communicate your value instantly
We’ll work one-on-one, and I’ll personally craft a deck you’ll use not just to raise money, but
to win clients, partners, and media attention for years to come.
Want a preview? I have an eBook, webinar, and plenty of winning examples - just ask.
