Let me make a suggestion, paginate and don't display full resolution that's scaled down to thumbnail size. I was able to scroll down and keep scrolling and then collected ~1,000 slides by just doing Command+S. Great site none the less.

This is by design. collect away! <3

Awww yeah

This is cool, I was in a similar position when I was going to try to raise some money for a potential product (which I didn’t end up doing…). I was thinking about putting something together like this for fun out of the hundred or so of decks I downloaded and had found online, but wasn’t sure how to go about requesting permission from all the deck creators and even managing how to find them. So I didn’t go through wit…

Maybe think of the most likely target audience for a corpus of startup pitch decks?

This little instance of not-asking-permission seems very minor, compared to the ruthless exploitation of people on which some of the most lucrative startups are predicated. Perhaps laid out in some of these very same decks.

Someone uninterested in becoming the next exploiter could do ethical analysis on this corpus.

The search does not seem to be returning what your searching. Example search "IPFS" nothing comes up that mentions IPFS or related tech . I guess this is a fake it till you make it POC ?

That's a peculiar search term, what kind of business would you envision that would be based on a public file distribution protocol? NFT scams don't count as business.

Are these real? Some of these seems like something an AI would generate. thispitchdeckdoesnotexist or whatever. https://search-the-deck-images.s3.amazonaws.com/Heyday__37.p...

Disappointed to learn thispitchdeckdoesnotexist does not exist Thought it would have been created and passed the Turing test of getting meetings with investors and incubators by now...

Yet, there is one for landinga pages: https://thisstartupdoesnotexist.com/
