Show HN: Largest collection of pitch deck, videos and memos to fund my education

#1

Post by mrayushsoni »

Student debt is troubling so many recent graduates that we decided to graduate debt-free from the university. We launched FundingFyre - a database of startup pitch decks, pitch videos and investment memos… all together 1,500+ items. You can filter the resources by funding round, size, etc.

Many of you might be raising Seed or Series-A funding and these resources would be immensely helpful.

We kept it a paid service to earn enough to pay our tuition fees and cover living expenses. But for the HackerNews community, we have a 50% discount, please use code “HN2022”.

We’re four students (Grade 12 to 1st year engineering), we’d love to get your feedback on the tool.

Unable to signup.... validation failed error message keeps coming up... Im actually trying to pay you guys for this

Hi freakynit, we would love to have you on FundingFyre, I checked from backend, and came to know that the error happened because of a slightly weak password, so I would request you to please try with a stronger password.

Also, thanks a lot for your trust in FundingFyre and us, and we will work on this issue, and improve our error messaging.

Thanks a lot :)

Yeah Freakynit, thanks for your input, we will certainly update this, and recheck all your error messaging if there's anything lacking clarity. Please try the code again.

Thanks a lot for your trust in FundingFyre and us, and we really appreciate you joining, and would try our best to give you a delighting experience. We hope FundingFyre will be helpful in your startup fundraising journey.

Unless you’ve got permission to commercially exploit other people’s copyright material, this isn’t going to fund your education - it’s going to get you sued.

Copyright violation has a statutory penalty starting at $750 per violation so you’re immediately looking at $1m+ in liability.

Wilful violation - which this would likely fall under - is $150,000 per violation. Congrats! That’s nearly a quarter billion dollar liability.

If you’ve actually cleared the licensing on these then congrats! You probably don’t need the education you’re trying to fund.
