Hi, i created my startup in my bedroom, i have some of traction and i would like to get investment so i could move faster this is the pitch deck of my startup https://www.dropbox.com/s/cffsp4c0q2v59v6/pitch-deck-final.pptx this is the app on playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=schan.main&hl=es_CO

the purpose of the company is: Become to the best service for meeting new people, allowing to anyone to find trustworthy people and strike up a conversation in an easy way

i created a new moderation system more efective to detect people with bad behaviour, scammers, fake accounts, spammers, rude peope etc

so the people use more the app because there are more nice people

if you are interested or you know someone who you believe could be interested please send me a message here in the forum or to my email hvar90@gmail.com thanks....

You'll likely have much better results if you:

(1) Target your pitch more by joining specific niche communities in your vertical, get to know people there, and ask one of them who is well-connected to get you an introduction, which will allow you to give them a verbal elevator pitch. If they like it then you can send them a pitch deck.

(2) If you still want to do a broadcast style pitch on here, put your elevator pitch in your post with some key details in bullets afterward, ending with a call to action and a link to your startup's website on a domain name you've gotten for your startup. I've no desire to download and open a PowerPoint deck off of Dropbox from someone I don't know, and I suspect I am not alone.

(3) And perhaps most important, build an MVP (or at least a proof of concept) before you start pitching. You may have already done this, but I'm assuming not because I didn't see a link to a website with your MVP or POC. If you have built this, and don't have it available, then you are missing out on one of the biggest values from it - customer feedback/validation, aka pivot instructions.
