I totally agree that money raised is irrelevant. The hope was our journey can be useful to others.

The hard work is just beginning.


If you choose "Graphic Designer" as the role you're looking for, that should help.


No worries. It was meant to be a joke but I removed due to the downvotes

Your pitch deck will get you meetings, not investment. No one invests from only seeing a pitch deck.

From speaking with investors, we learned about better ways to get across what we are doing. What the key ares that interested investors, etc. Most of that we learned was from the actual conversation rather than specific feedback on the deck.

On a side note, the first version of this deck makes me slightly embarrassed. Even the "final" version does because the company has evolved since we closed our investment round.


"Even the "final" version does because the company has evolved since we closed our investment round."

Do your investors find that concerning at all?


I think they would be more concerned if we didn't evolve. For example, Twitter isn't just an SMS service anymore


Half our money has been from angels
