Ask HN: Collection of Pitch Decks?

91 pointsmrkramer16 comments

I'm looking for collection of pitch decks because I'm planning on starting a startup soon and I want to know how good pitch decks look like.

It seems like a website[0] of this person is down but I remember it was a good site.

The “Storytelling” framework by Andy Raskin is very much worth internalizing. His article on the Zuora deck is very popular—

The Greatest Sales Deck I’ve Ever Seen | by Andy Raskin | Mission.org | Medium https://medium.com/the-mission/the-greatest-sales-deck-ive-e...

The NFX website has a lot of great articles on fundraising advice. This one is on Storytelling:

The 23 Rules of Storytelling For Fundraising https://www.nfx.com/post/23-rules-storytelling-fundraising/

Not a collection but I'm a big fan of Uber's pitch deck[1] because it's not flashy at all but very straight to the point with a strong structure around "what investors need to know about a seed stage company" without much faff around what they don't.

A counter example would be something like front.com's series A deck[2] which is very flashy and was also very successful. These days something in the middle would be most successful IMO.

I really like this book:

Amazon.com: Getting to Wow! Silicon Valley Pitch Secrets for Entrepreneurs (9798590166336): Reichert, Bill, Blendstrup, Angelika, Kawasaki, Guy: Books https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TS4RHKN

Also a couple of podcasts with Reichert are worth listening to, like:

‎Metrics that Measure Up: Getting to WOW - Secrets of Pitching to VCs - with Bill Reichert, Garage Technology Ventures and Pegasus Tech Ventures on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/metrics-that-measure-u...

Thanks for sharing. I prefer simple solutions and concepts and probably my pitch deck will be a simple one and easily comprehensible.

We've just launched our beta, ezPitch, to help founders build their pitch landing pages. The web app has tips and guidelines what a good pitch is and what investors expect to see. Try it out for free: https://bit.ly/3jWq3ss and let me know what you think. ezPitch, co-founder, Victoria

Aaron Harris (Y Combinator partner for 7.5 years) does pitch deck reviews. Here's one from two days ago of a company in India called Wildcart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJyKCbHu2Cg.

This is really amazing! I like the idea of reviewing pitch decks. It would be amazing if somebody would review how companies evolved from a pitch deck to the point where they are today.

This is very cool. Thanks Is there something similar for startup go to market strategy?

StartHouse was pretty neat. It had a lot of PDFs of pitch decks pulled from various sources. My only issue is that it seemed quite a few of them were fakes and student projects. I have the full set downloaded. If there's any interest I can upload them somewhere.

yes please

That’d be great.

That would be awesome
