Translate a Startup Pitch Deck into What It Is Actually Claiming
A founder's deck has just landed in your inbox, polished and persuasive, and you need to read it with a cool head. This separates the storytelling from the substance: is the problem real and large, does the solution obviously solve it, and what is actually being claimed underneath the narrative. For the angel investor who'd rather be fair than dazzled.
