do people really want something like this. I would think investors would want a no hassle, no bs way to review a company. It looked nice, but the experience was no good , compared to a standard ppt deck with notes.

Re: DressRush Pitch Deck
#22The "Market" slide makes a very effective point. On the "Problems / Solutions" slide: "save ... up to 100% off retail" says absolutely nothing, except perhaps that the author doesn't know how percents work. "save ... up to 100%" means "save somewhere between nothing and everything". On the graph in the "Customer Acquisition" slide, the "reduce customer acquisition cost through SEO" point implies a lower cost to acqui…
Up to 100% is basically because some deals are 50% off and some are 100% free. See Appsumo

#23Is it strange that as potential investor my biggest concern about this deck would be that its for a bridal product with 3 Men and only one woman on the founding team?

#24I'd like to see links to the team members' Twitter and LinkedIn profiles on the team page. :)

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
My biggest problem with it was at the bottom of the fourth slide. The problem that they're solving is apparently that brides can't afford their perfect wedding, but their picture has Vera Wang dresses at $1500. Nice looking deck though :)
How familiar are you with the Wedding market? Your average wedding costs about 25k. 1500 is about average for a wedding dress, and cheap for a vera wang; high-end dresses are in the 2-5k range.

#26Thanks for all the comments! I've already started implementing some of your feedback in the UI.

#27Am I the only one who doesn't get this UI? If I have to scroll anyway, what's the point of those next buttons? What is the purpose of page numbers at the top when there's already a scrollbar showing where I am? I think it does nothing but adds clutter and distracts from the message they are trying to convey. A simple web page with the same infographics would tell me the same story, take less time to design, print wel…
I'm with you. The buttons on the top and the next are redundant. However, the worst bit is that if a point doesn't fit on the screen, you can't hit the down button on the keyboard to scroll down because the down button takes you to the next point. Painful.

Sara & I founded Weddzilla.com (Wedding expertise) and have an advisory team chock-full{edit} of women from the biggest sites in the space. Mike and I founded an earlier company and although he never plans on getting married, is never short on dates = a lot of female insight. Matt...well he's married so he's been through the drill. ;)
Re: DressRush Pitch Deck
#29Beautiful execution.
I'd give people a way to print out or download your deck so that associates can hand a hard copy to the investing partner.
Edit: Also really quick, not sure if this is the correct use of market size. What is your actual segmented address market? 28k is the average wedding but that must be skewed by 500k+ weddings. Next, I'd like to know how your 2.0 products are going to be able to capture pieces of the market you're not in already (maybe this returns better margins at a higher acquisition cost? not necessarily .55 flat).

I think the page numbers at the top serve as a nice progress indicator. I'm with you on the next / prev buttons. Ditch those.
