Many people here asking for an example. Here's a real example of a pre-seed pitch deck that I'm using for my meetings with investors [1]. I'll explain why I like Pitch. I am a first time founder. I am a technical guy who have to be a jack-of-all-trades for the past 6 months. I am a type of guy who's really bad at designing slides. Leave me with PowerPoint or Google Presentation and you'll see the ugliest presentation…

thx so much for showing an example, very helpful. btw, if I may, it might be nicer to stick to just serif or sans-serif fonts in your deck, the mix is making my eyes a little sad.

So I REALLY don’t mean this to be cynical, but: other than this clearly being a beautiful product, and I guess the simple fact that it’s just not a Google product, what exactly does this bring to the table that Google slides doesn’t already do?

Why would you miss anything? I think you are merely skipping over the part you have not missed: It's well designed and not a Google product. In a world with space for a thousand todo and project management apps, I am sure there is space for a slides competitor, even if that was all it has going for it (although I am assuming there is more).

So, the differentiating value consists in simply not being made by Google?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Landing page is not loading (CSS missing) on iOS with AdBlocker (Firefox Focus) enabled, perhaps something you could look into.

I have a crude and jumbled layout on the homepage of Pitch, with many styles missing, using Firefox Focus on iOS with content blocker enabled.

Thanks for the info. We are looking into that at the moment.

Knowing Google history in shutting down anything other than search, mail and maps, yes its a huge advantage. I was approach to use “Authenticator” app in new project and upon finding out its Google, I declined
