Hi all, I just realized I did make a mistake in the title of the HN post. It should read "startups slides" not "startup slide deck". My apologies. ==> There are only 67 decks = 1,200 individual slides. <== I cannot

Hi rogerdickey It's 67 decks i.e. 1210 slides. It's my understanding that a pitch deck or slide deck contains several slides. Is the wording confusing or misleading? Please suggest a better one, I'll be happy to fix it (Engli

Hi Saxelsen Glad you like it. Unfortunately, I use a no-code tool (Table2Site) which allows me zero customization of the mobile design. If OpenDeck is successful, I will rebuild it better and include your suggestion.

Hi pk78 - I use the email to announce my upcoming product to potential users. It's also a free product and also a product for tech founders so it seems fair to me. If I cannot communicate with my users, then it's hard to build som

Hi tmpz22, The slides are from decks that are publicly available on Slideshare. The data (company name, year, funding stage, slide category...) is manually added by me with a lot of Google search. The download includes 67 decks which corres

Hi Marciplan! It's already included - although you cannot filter (yet) by funding stage, they are indicated on each slide next to the company name.

Thanks for the feedback, I am definitely building that for the next release. So far, I am using a no-code tool called Table2Sheet, which only allows 1 type of filter, so I picked Slide category. If you want to browse full startup pitch deck

Perfect timing for me :D One more thing that I see in good pitch decks: an intro slide about the "Context" or "Change" that is driving the startup. There was a good Medium post about it - will try to find it.

I feel like there 2 very different use cases for financial models: - Early-stage fundraising. The numbers are wrong, everybody knows it, but you have to show that curve going up and right. - Later-stage (maybe 1-year post-revenue?) when the
