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 of the site would be unquestionably valuable.

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 pitchdecks...

A pitch deck is all about gaining (and maintaining) attention right? Seems that if they don't have any of the prerequisites you mention then a Ridiculously Good Looking presentation like this is a good thing.
