Team has no apparent prior company operations experience, let alone M&A success. "Technical" team member isn't a "founder". They're in photo sharing and clearly following in Pinterest's footsteps. Yet, took the time to build an extremely well-designed, intricate, graphical investment pitch in HTML. Not sure if that's an antipattern or not. Certainly, an equivalently beautiful presentation aimed at prospective users o…

Off-topic, but you've been awfully critical and quick to judge as of late, Thomas. You've already shot this company down without seeing the product.

Huh? The product is right there.

Honestly: I'm not qualified to judge the prospects of a photo sharing site. I mean that sincerely: I have no f'ing clue of whether a photo site is worth $1 or $1Bn.

I'm in the exact same place as 'tferris: as a company operator and likely future again-founder, I have a somewhat visceral reaction to overly intricate investor courting rituals.

It might be a totally reasonable response to say "You're crazy, this is going to be super effective, they did exactly the right thing here." Awesome! I'll have learned something new. Fire away!

Is this legal?

Let me rephrase> Is it legal to put a pitch deck aimed at private investors online for all to see? I know this is a grey area in the past, and recent legislation has changed things, so I ask again, in hopes of actually getting an answer: Is this legal?

Is there a well-known framework or JS library that most of these "scroll to animate" pitch decks are using? It seems like a lot of work to roll your own, and I imagine the designers have better things to do. They all seem to work roughly the same way.

scrollorama.js and impress.js are good starting points for that

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Firstly, I'm not sure how much of the pitch deck you actually absorbed. Much of what you said is not "factually" true. Secondly, why would creating a well-designed pitch deck be an antipattern? They have 3 million plus uniques a month with a very healthy average time on site. It's not like they are ignoring their users and the growth of their company so that they can instead just waste their time crafting elaborate p…

It's totally possible, even likely, that my fast read of their investor presentation missed facts. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to point a couple of them out?

If your first read of their presentation missed important facts, does that imply it's an ineffective presentation?
