People value what they currently possess more than what they don’t yet own. We’re more motivated by potential losses than potential gains. For example, a majority of people will exert more effort to prevent the loss of $10,000 than to acquire $10,000 because the satisfaction lost is more overpowering than the satisfaction gained with the same amount.

Wow @darragh, you have your three stories in the top 10 this month. Well-deserved win! You have won $1,000!

In the second place, we have another excellent writeup:

The first thing that catches your eye clearly is the minimalistic design. There are no complicated backgrounds, animations, or illustrations. Just a light background and text. Nothing distracts from the content. Nothing should.

Psychologically, it is easier to make the reader focus on the things he needs to be focused on. In investment Pitch Decks, it's the numbers. And there will be numbers, lots of numbers.

Congratulations, @sergey-baloyan - you’ve won the second position and $600 in the growth marketing writing contest.

In the third place, we have:

LatAm’s founders’ resilience is unmatched and the increasing adoption of tech solutions is a clear indicator of greater potential in the region and businesses’ willingness to adapt to the current digitization era. Early-stage startup data analytics tools help fuel investments and attract greater partnerships that consequently help the population uplift its quality of life. By showing well-informed data-based business strategies local founders and interested VCs are paving the way toward sustainable growth.

Yay, @marialejads! You have won $400.
