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…

Damn good idea btw. I can immediately grasp how you could make money.

Thx. Probably, you know some company that could benefit from our solution?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What makes Spotify better than early iTunes? Quite obvious, no?

No, I don't think it is. Early itunes was a media player and music store I could use to catalog my own music as well as license theirs. Spotify is a streaming music service with a free ads based model or paid monthly subscription to get access to most commercially released music. How is that anything like Pitch vs PowerPoint templates?

I was just referring to the 'Subscription service vs One-time purchase' model. If you want to make a single presentation in a year, perhaps, not considering any differences, you are better of buying templates on Themeforest. But the convenience, cost-effectiveness of such a service, i can certainly see value

As someone who makes startups and invests sometimes, I recommend you remove "Wrote 90% of code being a part-time cofounder." That would be a red flag.

This looks great to be honest to build collaborative slide decks.

But the one thing I’m seeing in recent times is that every product is building their own communication layer especially for video/audio instead of letting users default to a catch-all solutions like Slack or Teams or any other similar software. Saw a similar app for collaborative coding with their own audio/video recently.

Interesting development. Not sure if everyone is building this from ground up or there is a communication as a service product/api which they leverage on. (Chime? Twilio?)

I use Google Slides _a ton_ and having a web based alternative is definitely interesting. Since I'm not a Mac user I've definitely yearned for Keynote-like animations etc. so this could be really useful. That said, something here doesn't seem to add up to me. Pitch is launching now, two years after being founded by seven founders, raised 50M(!) in funding and has 89 employees? I can't figure out why 1. they didn't la…

This is their public launch they are well underway for over a year. They are also the core creators of wunderlist.

Could you explain why that would be a red flag?

Full-time today. But I get what you mean. I had a lot of doubt wether I should put it there or not.

I'm super excited for Pitch. Since it's a web application I assume there will eventually be a public API, and ways to embed interactive media. I think this will be really powerful for events. Imagine if you had ONE master slide deck that had: - A slide for audience polling - A slide for a zoom call with one of your speakers - A slide that managed an icebreaker activity (like Kahoot) - A slide that tracked merch sales…

Probably because there are numerous incumbents and an aggregated news feed isn't nearly as unique as their grid chart makes it out to be.
