1/7When to use it
Reach for Origin story when you want to show your experience and earn trust. Its structure is story: something that happened to you, and what it meant. Give Postora your topic and it keeps the shape, writing every slide about your subject in your voice.
What each slide does

Opening: the hook of the story.

Our bakery began with one borrowed oven
How it started
And a very patient neighbour.

The first scene.

Twelve loaves, a folding table
March 2021
We sold out at the Saturday market in 40 minutes and had no idea why.
3Point
The hard part.
In the example
Every batch was different
The hard part
Same recipe, same oven, and still flat bread one week in three.
4Point
The turn, in one line.
In the example
Then we started writing everything down.
5Point
What changed.
In the example
Temperature, time, flour, weather
What changed
A notebook showed us the kitchen was the problem, not the recipe.
